The Tasters
In the spring of 1943, the young Rosa Sauer (Elisa Schlott) is transported from a Polish village, where she fled the bombings of Berlin, to Nazi headquarters. There, together with other women, she is forced into a cruel and nerve-wracking task: tasting Adolf Hitler’s meals three times a day, with each bite potentially being their last.
