Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Alan Judd, “The Kaiser’s Last Kiss” is currently filming. BUt in the meantime, check out the image of the film’s stars below.
The story is set in 1940 and concerns Untersturmführer Martin Krebbs, a young and recently commissioned SS officer who has been sent to Huis Doorn to guard the exiled Kaiser Wilhelm II as the German Army advances into the Netherlands. While there, Krebbs meets and falls for Akki, an undercover British agent posing as a maid, who has been sent by the British Secret Service on the orders of Winston Churchill to assess the Kaiser’s feelings about the war and his possible willingness to defect to Britain.
As the story unfolds, and through conversations Krebbs has with both the Kaiser and Akki (who Krebbs discovers is Jewish), and a visit from Heinrich Himmler, Krebbs begins to discover some uncomfortable truths about the Nazis, forcing him to question the things he has been taught. When Akki’s true identity is in danger of being exposed, Krebbs must choose between his duty to the Third Reich and his feelings for the woman he loves.
The new film stars Lily James and Jai Courtney. Directed by David Leveaux and written by Simon Burke.
