Michael Sheen (FROST/NIXON) and Iwan Rheon (E4's Misfits) star in RESISTANCE, a thriller set in a Welsh valley in the Black Mountains.
Based on a novel by Welsh poet Owen Sheers, the story takes place in an alternative 1944, after the fall of Russia and the failed D-Day landings. The menfolk of the valley are disappearing one by one, their absences sudden and unexplained.
As the all-female community huddles together, a group of German soldiers invade the valley. A cruel winter forces the two groups to put aside their differences and build a cautious entente cordiale, but as farmer's wife Sarah Lewis (Andrea Riseborough) grows closer to the patrol's commanding officer, the spirit of the valley is threatened by the war raging beyond the mountain, and the unlikely community is faced with unimaginable devastation.
