The Tasters

Every meal could be their last.

Directed by Silvio Soldini

Produced by Lumière & Co., tellfilm

A tense historical drama about ordinary people trapped in an impossible moral situation under Nazi tyranny, where every meal carries the threat of death.

In autumn 1943, in Gross-Partsch, 26-year-old Rosa, who had come from Berlin to stay with the parents of her husband Gregor, who was fighting on the Russian front, was taken by the SS to a mysterious place. Forced to taste a dish, she joins the group of tasters responsible for checking that the food destined for Hitler is not poisoned.
