The Tasters – A St. Louis Jewish Film Festival Event
Italy, German with English subtitles
Silvio Soldini
Feature: 118 minutes
Inspired by a shocking true story, The Tasters is a chilling portrait of survival inside Hitler’s inner circle. In the autumn of 1943, Rosa, a young woman fleeing bombed Berlin, is forced into a terrifying role: along with other women from a remote village near the Wolf’s Lair, she must taste the Führer’s meals each day — never knowing if the food is poisoned. Caught between starvation and the constant threat of death, the women form fragile bonds marked by fear, rivalry, and desperate loyalty. Claustrophobic and quietly devastating, The Tasters exposes the psychological toll of living under absolute terror, where survival demands silence, complicity, and unbearable choices — and where even the most private emotions become acts of risk.
