This docu-drama is set between spring 1943 and summer 1944 and revives the story of the assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler of 20 July 1944. The plot, which is mainly staged in Hitler’s headquarters, the so-called “Wolfsschanze”, as well as the Bendlerblock in Berlin and the French headquarters of the German troops in Paris, focuses on the military resistance against Hitler and is interwoven with documentary footage and the memories of eye-witnesses. The film shooting will take place in Poland
