The Exception (2017)

In the quiet serenity of a secluded estate near Nazi-occupied Utrecht, the abdicated but still influential Kaiser Wilhelm II passes his time, unaware that he is viewed as a valuable assassination target. To thwart any potential attempts on the silver-haired monarch's life, a reluctant Wehrmacht Captain, Stefan Brandt, is assigned to safeguard him. Amidst swirling rumors of a covert spy lurking within their confines, Brandt finds himself entangled in a passionate and clandestine affair with the enigmatic Dutch handmaiden, Mieke de Jong. As a German soldier, Brandt's primary duty is to ascertain whether the Dutch resistance has planted a spy within the Kaiser's home during the chilling onset of World War II. But as he delves deeper into his investigation, he falls irrevocably in love with Mieke, a young Jewish Dutch woman, whose presence threatens to ignite an already volatile situation. With the impending arrival of the formidable Reichsführer, Heinrich Himmler, the tension escalates. Brandt is caught in a vortex of duty, deception, and desire. He is tasked with an increasingly complex mission - to protect both the abdicated Kaiser and the unexpected love of his life, Mieke. As the shadows of war loom closer, Brandt must navigate through a dangerous web of intrigue and treachery, where one wrong move could spell doom for all.
