"THE NINTH DAY"
I've just received email about this movie being released. Here is the synopsis:
Synopsis:
Abbé Kremer’s release from the living hell of Dachau turns out to be something other than a reprieve. Upon returning to Luxembourg, he learns the Nazis intend to use him as a tool in their diabolical scheming. The young and ambitious Gestapo Untersturmführer Gebhardt, a former seminarian adept in theology, feels the pressure to have the Abbé succeed in creating a rift between the Luxembourg Diocese and the Vatican. Kremer (Ulrich Matthes, DOWNFALL) is forced to make the decision of a lifetime, torn between his conscience and the safety of his family and fellow brethren still at Dachau. In German with English subtitles.
