The Turncoat
Created by Florian Gallenberger
A bleak, claustrophobic WWII drama about soldiers trapped behind enemy lines as their command descends into moral chaos and senseless brutality.
Summer 1944. Walter Proska is about to return to the Eastern Front when his train is blown up by partisans. Together with a scattered bunch of German soldiers, cut off from the front, he awaits certain death while the commands of his superior Willi Stehauf are becoming more and more senseless and inhuman.
