Synopsis:
This is a historical biopic about the Polish-German political activist and leftist-pacifist revolutionary legend, Rosa Luxemburg, who was murdered in 1919 upon the German government’s order. The film follows her as a grown woman from the beginning of her political fight when she encouraged the worldwide revolution of the proletariat until her premature death after the WW I. She had her biggest supporter, both privately and professionally, in her partner Leo Jogiches, who later became her traitor.
