German Director Andreas Dresen brings in competition at the 74th Berlinale, the story of German Red Orchestra’s young activist Hilde Coppi in “From Hilde with love“.

As he didn’t know a lot of Hilde Coppi’s story, Dresen confesses that he was attracted by the film’s script as it could be the perfect occasion for him to narrate of a group of youths in a contemporary and poetic way.

Although set in 1942, in the most beautiful summer for Hilde, where being involved in the anti-Nazi resistance would also mean sharing the best moments of their group’s young life, Dresen creates a tale that could also be considered as an universal portray of youth.

Andreas Dresen also considers Hilde Coppi as a fundamentally decent person with her own set of values trying to leave put of the film the way she was described and considered in the past: a communist resistance fighter for some and a despicable traitor for others.

Playing Hilde is Liv Lisa Fries who delivers a truly remarkable performance after becoming internationally renowned thanks to “Babylon Berlin“.
