The film follows an eccentric young soldier with a scar on his face who arrives in a remote German village at the beginning of the 17th century to claim a run-down farm he reportedly inherited. Through discipline and hard work, he manages to gain the trust of the locals, at least until he is to conceive a child with the daughter of one of the villagers, leading his carefully constructed identity toward a fateful revelation. Following his works Michael and Angelo, director Markus Schleinzer presents a psychological portrait of a person facing oppression by the majority society. Sandra Hüller was awarded the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance at the Berlinale for her portrayal of Rose, for whom freedom is attainable only when she wears trousers.
