Davos

Davos, 1917. As WWI rages in Europe, a young nurse gets recruited by a female master spy and soon decides on war and peace.

synopsis

Inspired by true events. 1917. When Swiss 23-year-old nurse Johanna returns from voluntary service with the Red Cross, she is no longer the woman she used to be: on the frontline, she was able to take on responsibility, perform surgeries – she was appreciated. In the war, Johanna was free. Back in her hometown, the noble spa resort Davos in the Swiss Alps, Johanna’s medical talent goes to waste in a famous sanatorium. Johanna’s father, an influential hotel owner, wants her to get married. Only Countess Ilse von Hausner, Johanna’s eccentric patient, will be able to help her out. Yet, Ilse works undercover for the German secret service. Having access to a high ranking British general as a nurse, Johanna is recruited by Ilse. Coercion turns into mentorship, mentorship turns into rivalry. And when Lenin shows up in Davos, Johanna, her mentor Ilse, and her great love Dr. Mangold – a secret agent for the other side – are suddenly at the center of a deadly conspiracy that could decide the outcome of WWI.

Director’statement

Unknown history: 100 years ago, the world was secretly ruled from Davos. The elite of the war powers met here on neutral ground, supposedly to receive medical treatment, but in the shadows, they negotiated the outcome of World War I.
