Synopsis


Directed by Silvio Soldini, The Tasters is a gripping moral drama, adapted from Rosella Postorino’s bestselling novel, which was inspired by the incredible true story of Margot Wolk, one of Hitler’s food tasters. Autumn 1943. Fleeing bombed Berlin, Rosa (Elisa Schlott, The Empress, Das Boot) reaches a small, isolated village where her in-laws live and where her husband, who is on the front, has written to her to take refuge while awaiting his return. Rosa soon discovers that the seemingly peaceful village hides a secret: inside the neighbouring forest lies Hitler’s headquarters, the Wolf's Lair. One morning at dawn Rosa is taken, along with other young women from the village, to taste the Führer's food under the watchful eye of the SS and ensure it is not poisoned. Caught in a deadly daily game, the tasters begin to form alliances, friendships and secret pacts. Rosa, the outsider, struggles to be accepted by the others, and her situation is further complicated when a new SS officer begins to have feelings for her.
