Actor/director Vincent Perez‘s WWII drama casts Brendan Gleeson and Emma Thompson as a middle-aged German couple whose son is killed in France in 1940.

They then embark on a low-key campaign of resistance, leaving postcards in public places encouraging fellow citizens to rise up against Hitler. But Gestapo officer Daniel Bruhl is in hot pursuit. This preview is broadcast live from the Imperial War Museum and is followed by an event with Emma Thompson featuring a nose round the museum’s most famous exhibits and a discussion about political protest from the Nazi era to the present day.
