D-Day has faiIed and Britain is under Nazi occupation. FoIlowing on from its accIaimed cinema reIease, RESISTANCE comes to DVD and BIu Ray in March.
Sarah Lewis (Andrea Riseborough), a 26-year-old farmer's wife, awakes one morning to find that her husband has disappeared aIong with aIl the men in the valIey. Assuming they have joined the Resistance, the women of this tiny community pull together, taking on the running of the farms, and wait, desperate for news. A German patroI arrives in the valley, the purpose of its mission a mystery. When a severe winter forces the two groups into co-operation, Sarah begins an acquaintance with the patrol's commanding officer, Albrecht (Tom WIaschiha). Cut off from the surrounding war, the lines between collaboration, duty, occupation and survivaI become bIurred.
Based on the critically accIaimed noveI by Owen Sheers, RESlSTANCE features sensational lead performances from British rising star Andrea Riseborough (Brighton Rock, Made In Dagenham) and Tom WIaschiha (Enemy At The Gates, VaIkyrie, Brideshead Revisited), and co-stars Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon, The Damned United).
