Director Christian Petzold once again works with Nina Hoss & Ronald Zehrfeld , the stars of his previous film Barbara. A disfigured concentration camp survivor must return to Berlin for facial reconstruction and to track down the husband who may have given her up to the Nazis in the first place. When you can be anyone with any face, would you choose your own, or would a new face be advantageous? Featuring elements of noir, Vertigo style grooming and subterfuge, this is one to watch from the edge of your seat.
