Inspired by the true stories of women who adopted male identities to gain greater freedom, this historical drama follows a protagonist who rejects the role prescribed to her at birth and passes as a man. In the early 17th century, somewhere in Germany, a mysterious soldier arrives in an isolated Protestant village. Slight and modest by nature, with a face disfigured by a scar, the stranger declares himself to be the heir to a long-abandoned farmstead and produces a document to support his claim before the suspicious villagers. As time passes, he overcomes their doubts and, proving himself to be a hard-working, God-fearing man, becomes part of the community. However, his quest for acceptance is built on a brazen lie.
"Rose isn't a revolutionary. She isn't inspired by a social concept; she doesn't want to set an example so things will be better for future generations. She takes this step for selfish reasons - because she doesn't want to live as a woman under these conditions. She isn't a revolutionary, but her actions are revolutionary." (Markus Schleinzer)
