From Hilde, With Love

Berlin, 1942. When the shy, heavily-pregnant Hilde Coppi (Liv Lisa Fries, Babylon Berlin) is suddenly detained by the Gestapo, she pleads ignorance to their accusations that she has aided her lover, Hans (Johannes Hegemann), in transcribing coded radio transmissions to and from Moscow. However, it appears there’s more evidence against Hilde than she anticipated, given Hans and many of the other activists involved in their group – who will become known as Die Rote Kapelle (“The Red Orchestra”) – have also been arrested. Compelled to give birth in custody, Hilde is informed that her child may be taken from her, but her kindness and quiet resolve wins over a prison nurse, enabling mother and son to remain together.

As Hilde awaits her sentencing, she reminisces about her involvement with Hans and their joyful romance, the most beautiful summer of her life… Anchored by the extraordinary Fries, who perfectly embodies a type of everyday heroine driven only by decency and what’s in her heart, Dresen’s compelling and humanistic film echoes the themes and impact of 'The Lives Of Others', as a war drama that – without depicting a single bullet being fired - speaks more eloquently about courage than many battle-heavy spectacles. FROM HILDE, WITH LOVE is a deeply moving and inspiring achievement.
