Synopsis "Illegitimate"

"Reminds us that even when memories fail, the heart remembers." Angela Findlay, author of In My Grandfather's ShadowBorn out of wedlock in post-war Germany, a child enters the world between two people seeking escape and renewal-Susi, a young woman desperate to break free from the drudgery of her life, and a POW yearning to start over. When Susi refuses his offer of marriage, a court order severs him from his daughter forever.Determined to chase her dreams, Susi joins a dance troupe, leaving her infant daughter, Maddie, in the care of her mother, Katharina - a resilient woman who has already raised six children, three with different fathers. Six years later, Susi returns, now engaged to an American Army officer. Maddie is taken from her grandmother and adopted to be raised in America.As Maddie grows, she wrestles with her fractured identity and, decades later, finds her way back to her German roots. Just before her 60th birthday, a shocking confession from her Aunt Sieglinde shatters everything she thought she knew: her beloved grandmother once participated in a Nazi eugenics program that encouraged "racially correct" unions to produce children for Hitler's vision.That revelation ignites Maddie's quest to uncover the truth about her own father - a journey that intertwines generations, secrets, and the unyielding need to belong.ILLEGITIMATE is the true story of two women who had to uncover the identities of their fathers in order to truly understand themselves.
