Rothemund’s film is called Sophie Scholl, di letzten Tage and it will be produced by Neue Goldkind Film. It’s about the young woman who was part of the German resistance movement, "Rosa bianca", who was condemned to death by the Nazis in 1943 at the tender age of 22. FFF Bayern will be investing €636,000 in the project.
