Show Trailer

PARADISE tells the story of three individuals and their fateful decisions forced by a totality of conviction. While listening to their recounts, we are taken back to the final days of World War II and the days their destiny crossed paths: Olga (Julia Vysotskaya), a beautiful aristocratic Russian émigré and member of the French resistance, Jules (Philippe Duquesne), a corrupt French police collaborator and Helmut (Christian Clauss), a naïve but high-ranking German SS-officer.
