Synopsis
Historical fiction based extensively on a true story, the White Rose, set in Germany between 1920 and 1943. The roses are the children of Forchtenberg whose lives become entangeled in the changing politics from the years of the Republic through the rise of the Nazis and war. Young friends are separated, then reunited years later in tragic circumstances at Munich's Stadelheim prison. This gripping drama focuses on the Reich's war against the German people that handed out sentences of high treason as the legal solution to any resistance.
