Trenck - Zwei Herzen gegen die Krone Part 2

Prussia during the reign of Frederick the Great. The young Friedrich, Baron von der Trenck (Ben Becker), is considered a bon vivant and womanizer. During a surprise visit by the king to Königsberg, Frederick II (August Zirner) and Trenck meet. The king is fascinated by the daredevil and brings him into his personal guard in Potsdam. Frederick offers Trenck his friendship and promotes him. Frederick's favorite sister Amalie (Alexandra Maria Lara) also notices Trenck's impetuous nature. But the fresh love between the two is ill-fated, especially since Trenck's superior Jaschinsky (Hannes Jaennicke) dislikes him from the start, even though he himself has his eye on Amalie. Thus, the unsuitable relationship must remain a secret affair. However, when Frederick II learns of the relationship, he has Trenck arrested... The two-part series “Trenck – Zwei Herzen gegen die Krone” (Trenck – Two Hearts Against the Crown) was directed by none other than the renowned cinematographer Gernot Roll, who has already skillfully staged numerous major cinema and TV feature films (“Die Manns – Ein Jahrhundertroman” (The Manns – A Century Novel), “Der Laden” (The Shop), “Rossini,” and many more). “Trenck” is also characterized by exquisite cinematography, in which the large cast of German stars can unfold magnificently.
