In the End, a True Love Story
Vichy France, 1940. Dashing Résistance leader René Barathéon has a confrontation with his Protestant older brother Stanislas, who is accompanied by a female preacher (Mélisande). The discussion heats up, in the end, René winds up ironically addressing his brother and religious matters.
That evening, on the eve of battle, René suddenly dies of a stroke. His lieutenant and more-than-brother-in-law Laurent Tyrell accuses only female member of the unit, Anglo-French tomboy Brienna Tarth, of the assassination she didn't commit.
Thus, Brienna flees the encampment in the company of Swedish volunteer Katarina Stark, who gives her a mission: to find her missing daughters, teenaged Sandra and preteen Anna, who are held hostage somewhere in the Third Reich. In exchange, she has to bring the Nazi leaders one of their own kin: a POW of the Résistance's, fallen-on-hard-times Colonel Jakob Lännister.
The task will not be an easy one: the unlikely companions will encounter outlaws, sexual tension, a right hand amputation, a Herr Doktor (Kai Brenner) who has run away from his past in the Reich, a sadistic circus ringmaster, a vicious brown bear (all black and brown and covered in hair!)...
In the meantime, young widow Marguerite Tyrell is offered by her grandmother Hélène to Konzern heir (and teenaged Elagabalus) Gottfried Baratheon-Lännister. Whose current caregiver, his mother Elisabeth called "Sissi", is struggling with a drinking problem, the Résistance, and all the pressure that may derivate from running a Konzern on her own. By her side, Polish-Russian eunuch Varish and clever upstart Peter "Kleinfinger" Bälisch are pulling the strings of a farce across nations and loyalties...
