Autumn 1943. The young Rosa, fleeing from Berlin hit by bombing, reaches a small isolated village near the eastern border. This is where her in-laws live and where her husband, busy at the front, has written to her to take refuge while waiting for her return.
Rosa immediately discovers that the village, apparently quiet, hides a secret: inside the forest with which it borders, Hitler has his headquarters, the Wolf's Den. The Führer sees enemies everywhere, being poisoned is his obsession. One morning at dawn Rosa is taken, together with other young women from the village, to taste the food cooked for him. Torn between fear of death and hunger, the tasters will forge alliances, friendships and secret pacts with each other.
Rosa, the Berliner, struggles to be accepted. But when she finally overcomes her distrust of her, something happens that will make her feel guilty. An SS officer, against all rationality and in spite of herself, awakens love in her. Or perhaps the simple need to feel alive, despite everything.
Based on the bestseller of the same name by Rosella Postorino, published by Feltrinelli.
