D-Day has failed and Britain is under Nazi occupation. FolIowing on from its acclaimed cinema release, RESlSTANCE comes to DVD and Blu Ray in March.
Sarah Lewis (Andrea Riseborough), a 26-year-old farmer's wife, awakes one morning to find that her husband has disappeared along with alI the men in the vaIley. Assuming they have joined the Resistance, the women of this tiny community puIl together, taking on the running of the farms, and wait, desperate for news. A German patrol 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 survival become blurred.
Based on the criticaIly 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, Valkyrie, Brideshead Revisited), and co-stars Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon, The Damned United).
