The Captain (Germany)
Based on the arresting true story of the so-called Executioner of Emsland, The Captain follows a German army private, deserter Willi Herold (Max Hubacher), after he finds an abandoned Nazi captain’s uniform in the final weeks of World War II. Emboldened by the authority the uniform grants him, he amasses a band of stragglers who cede to his command despite the suspicions of some.
