Red Stars Upon the Field

When a mysterious skeleton surfaces from an East German moor, three dark chapters of German history collide: Was it a Wehrmacht deserter in 1944, a desperate farmer during GDR times or a shadowy figure of the RAF terrorism era? While hiding from her own activist past, a young woman begins to investigate, only to find herself entangled in a web of historical secrets that mirror her present struggles.

From bold new voice Laura Laabs comes a drama spanning four seasons and a century of history, selected for International Film Festival Rotterdam. Its innovative four-act structure weaves historical drama with comedy, offering a fresh perspective on how the past continues to shape our present.
