Berlin 1942: Only gradually does the inconspicuous Hilde find her place in the resistance group that will later be called the "Red Orchestra". Hilde falls in love with Hans, blossoms and is happy for a summer despite the constant danger to her life. When the members of the group are arrested by the Gestapo in the fall, the pregnant Hilde is among them. In prison, she develops unexpected strength. She gives birth to her son and keeps the memory of her beloved husband alive.

"In Liebe, Eure Hilde" is the eighth joint work by director Andreas Dresen and screenwriter Laila Stieler. The drama is based on the true story of Hilde and Hans Coppi, who were executed in Berlin-Plötzensee. The film celebrated its world premiere at the Berlinale in 2024 and was supported by the Film- und Medienstiftung, among others. It has been nominated seven times for the German Film Award 2025, including for Best Feature Film.

"(...) Andreas Dresen is an empathetic observer and filmmaker who always places people at the narrative center. With "In Liebe, Eure Hilde" he once again - after "Rabiye Kurnaz gegen George W. Bush" - sets an exclamation mark for the fight for justice that should leave no one untouched." - NDR Kultur
