What happens in Frantz from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In the quiet town of Quedlinburg, Germany, in 1919, the first stirrings of spring bring a heavy memory to Anna, a young German woman still mourning her fiancé, Frantz Hoffmeister, who fell during World War I. She tends Frantz’s grave with care and sorrow, laying fresh flowers each day. One morning she notices that the blossoms are new—clearly placed by someone else. It is Adrien, a young Frenchman she has never met, who keeps returning to the grave. His presence unsettles the town and unsettles Anna, who would rather forget the war’s ruin than confront the possibility of reconciliation across a boundary that still aches.
