The last chaotic weeks of World War II supply the backdrop for this German action-drama, where a deserting soldier and a hunt for hidden Jewish treasure collide.

What is Blood & Gold about?

Peter Thorwarth directs this German-language wartime thriller, set as the Second World War is collapsing toward its end. A German soldier, no longer willing to fight, searches for his daughter across a country coming apart, while a unit of SS officers pursues rumors of a hidden Jewish treasure in the same stretch of countryside. The two searches keep crossing paths, pulling the soldier into direct conflict with the men chasing the fortune. Robert Maaser and Jördis Triebel lead a cast rounded out by Marie Hacke, Alexander Scheer, Roy McCrerey, Stephan Grossmann, Florian Schmidtke, and Juri Senft, across a 100-minute runtime that keeps the action grounded in a single rural setting rather than sprawling across fronts.

About the cast

Maaser and Triebel anchor the film opposite Hacke, Scheer, McCrerey, Grossmann, Schmidtke, and Senft. K-Time credits the cast in production order without matching individual actors to specific roles, since a wartime ensemble piece like this one turns on the group dynamic of soldiers, villagers, and pursuers as much as any single performance.

Context & significance

Blood & Gold comes from German director Peter Thorwarth, working in a genre lane that pairs a historical setting with straightforward action mechanics — chases, standoffs, and a ticking search for buried treasure — rather than a slower, purely dramatic treatment of the period. The 2023 catalogue year places it among recent German-language productions that use the closing days of the war as a backdrop for genre storytelling, and its country-of-origin credit is Germany.
