Sandra Hüller disguises herself as a male soldier in Rose trailer

Sandra Hüller’s busy year of movies continues. After kicking off 2026 with her supporting role in Project Hail Mary opposite Ryan Gosling, Hüller has three more films on the way: Digger, co-starring Tom Cruise; the post-war movie Fatherland; and, capping off the year, the German-set drama Rose, directed by Markus Schleinzer. In the first trailer for Mubi’s Rose, set in the 17th century, Hüller’s titular character laments that she never could think about the future because she was stuck in survival mode every day. Refusing to conform to traditional roles, Rose disguises herself as a mysterious, misfit soldier in a small village.  

The synopsis reads:

“Amidst the turmoil of the Thirty Years’ War, somewhere in Germany, a mysterious soldier appears in a secluded protestant village. Small and quiet, his face disfigured by a scar, this stranger declares himself the heir of a long-abandoned farmstead and produces a document to support his claim to the suspicious villagers. With time, he overcomes their doubts and shows himself to be a hard-working, God-fearing man, becoming part of the community in a quest for acceptance made up of impossible deceit. The true and twisted tale of a deceiver of land and folk, who, defying her birth as a woman, comported herself as a man and committed many a wicked deed.”

Rose is Austria’s official entry to the upcoming Oscars and releases in theaters on December 11. You can watch the trailer below.
