Rozkvet

Synopsis

Occupied Czechoslovakia, 1943: following her husband's death at the hands of Nazi forces, Romani woman Erika, isolates herself and her son deep in the forest. Events soon spiral out of control, when she agrees to help the local resistance on a mission gone wrong and Erika reluctantly takes up arms in the hope of saving her family, and perhaps her very people.
Hunting her down are local SS leader, Obersturmfuhrer Engel, a relentless man seeking to make sense of his own tragic loss, and Italian diplomat, Silvano Reale, attempting to stay loyal to his German allies, while remaining a decent man.
