Munich, 1943. As Hitler wages a devastating war in Europe, a group of young men, mostly university students, choose passive resistance as their way to cripple the Nazis and their inhuman war machine. Sophie Scholl joins TheWhite Rose, as the group came to be known, as an innocent young woman who matures into a committed and fearless anti- Nazi. On 18 February 1943, Sophie and her brother Hans are caught distributing leaflets at the university and arrested. Over the next few days, Sophie's interrogation by the Gestapo officer Mohr evolves into an intense psychological duel. She lies and denies, schemes and lays down arms only to regroup and resist with greater determination. Unable to counter the crushing evidence, she confesses, but desperately tries to protect her brother and other White Rose members. Moved by Sophie's uncommon bravery, Mohr offers her a way out - but at the price of betraying her ideals. She refuses, sealing her fate. - Jentsch's performance of a lifetime won her several prestigious awards.
