Storm Is Coming
Storm is Coming is the new two-part television film by Matti Geschonneck,
award winning director of "The Conference". Betrayal, inheritance, and rising hatred ignite old rivalries. What was once a peaceful bavarian village descends into suspicion, violence, and irreversible tragedy.
This gripping, highly topical drama explores themes of exclusion and humanity. It is authentically staged in historical locations and based on a novel by Oskar Maria Graf. Set in a Bavarian village from 1914 to Hitler's rise in 1933, Storm is
coming follows shoemaker Julius Kraus as political hatred and personal tragedy collide. Caught between neighbors, family secrets, and the revelation of his Jewish identity, Kraus struggles to stay neutral. When inheritance, betrayal, and escalating violence threaten his life, he must confront a society descending
into fascism. A harrowing tale of morality, courage, and human fragility.
