‘From Hilde, With Love’: Liv Lisa Fries Talks Powerful And Timely Berlinale Competition Entry About Nazi Resistance Heroine; Watch First Footage


Babylon Berlin star Liv Lisa Fries spoke to us about her powerful new movie which debuts at the Berlinale.

Andreas Dresen’s affecting and pared back film, set in Berlin during the Second World War, charts the little known story of Hilde and Hans Coppi, a young couple who courageously become members of an anti-Nazi group known as The Red Orchestra (Die Rote Kapelle).
