German director Andreas Dresen (Stopped on Track, Cloud 9) directed from a script by Laila Stieler (Silver Berlin Bear winner for Rabiye Kurnaz vs George W. Bush).
The story is set in Berlin in 1942: Hilde is madly in love with Hans and pregnant. But Hans becomes involved in the anti-Nazi resistance, and despite the huge risks, Hilde decides to follow him. She is arrested by the Gestapo and gives birth to her son in prison. Now in a desperate situation, Hilde develops a quiet inspirational strength, but she only has a few months left with her son.
From Hilde, With Love is produced by Pandora Film Produktion in co-production with Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg, „Kinoinitiative Leuchtstoff“ and Arte in collaboration with Ziegler Film and Iskremas.
