Man to Man

Identity.

Our sense of self.

It's at the heart of everything.

So what happens when who we are has to be hidden in the fight for survival? Manfred Karge's Man to Man tells the story of Ella; a woman forced to adopt the identity of her dead husband in order to survive in Nazi Germany.

Compromising her own identity for survival, Ella is plunged into a new masculine world of beer, schnapps and poker; a claustrophobic existence dominated by the fear of discovery and the changing face of authority in a volatile twentieth century Germany.
