Based on the novel “The Tasters” by Rosella Postorino. In 1943, twenty-six-year-old Rosa, escaping from bombed Berlin, arrives at a village that hides a secret: Hitler's headquarters are located there. Rosa is one of the village women chosen to taste Hitler’s food before it is served, to make certain it has not been poisoned. Torn between the fear of dying and the hunger devouring them, the “tasters” will form alliances, friendships and secret agreements.
