From Hilde, with Love

From Hilde, with Love (In Liebe, eure Hilde, 2024) — watch online on iFILM — is a German historical drama directed by Andreas Dresen. It follows Hilde Coppi, a young Berliner who through the summer of 1942 belonged to the Rote Kapelle, an underground anti-fascist network operating under occupation. Liv Lisa Fries, familiar from Babylon Berlin, plays her.

Hilde and Hans Coppi — Johannes Hegemann — find each other inside the resistance before the Gestapo moves in. She is arrested at eight months pregnant. What follows is interrogation rooms, prison walls, and a stream of letters to Hans that are tender and clear-eyed about what's coming.

Dresen keeps his distance from heroic myth. The film stays close to one woman's interior: what it means to love someone and know the outcome and write to him anyway. Stream From Hilde, with Love (2024) online on iFILM.
