The German

They met immediately after World War II, a man and a woman who lost everything, and despite the traumas they endured they fell in love. 25 years later, Uri and Anna are still in love. In a kibbutz near the Sea of Galilee, they established a home, raised a family, and did everything they could to suppress their past as Holocaust survivors. But when the Mossad recruits Uri for a dangerous mission in Germany, memories start to return, cracks begin to appear in their perfect relationship, and a terrible suspicion grows in Anna. Parallel to one another, the two will embark on a secret life-changing journey, from which there will be no turning back.

Our take

The new series from the authors of Fauda, Teheran and The Girl from Oslo, is a gripping espionage thriller set between Munich and the kibbutz of the 1970s. Led by Oliver Masucci (Dark, He’s Back, Herrhausen: The Banker and the Bomb), whose performance conceals an impressive opacity, the series questions the fractured identities of its characters, forced to come to terms with the weight of their past as they are swept along by the inexorable march of history.
