Blonde Poison

Berlin. 1944. Stella, a Jewish blue-eyed blonde, has a cut deal with the Nazis. She catches Jews for them and in return, she gets to live. But when she meets Esther, a fellow blonde brandishing a rosary, it’s almost like looking in a mirror. As they match wits, the women threaten to expose the secrets they’re hiding from each other and themselves. Inspired by the chilling true story of Stella Kubler, this noir thriller asks, how far would you go to hide?
