Eva's Cousin

In the summer of 1944, twenty-year-old Marlene is thrilled to visit her older cousin, Eva Braun¿Adolf Hitler¿s mistress¿at the Führer¿s Bavarian mountain retreat. There, Marlene finds herself in a strange paradise, a world of opulence and imminent danger, of freedom and surveillance.

The two women sneak off and skinny-dip in a nearby lake, watch films in the Führer¿s private cinema, and flirt with the SS officers at the dinner table¿one of whom will become Marlene¿s first lover.

But soon a clandestine mission of mercy forces Marlene to question her allegiance to both her cousin and her country¿and to face the chilling reality that exists outside her sheltered world.
