It was, says Alexander Skarsgård, a very easy decision when he was asked to join a stellar cast for James Kent’s post World War II drama The Aftermath.
He plays the role of Stefan Lubert, a cultured, wealthy German who lost his wife during the raids and is living with his daughter in a house requisitioned by the British occupying force after the Allies took control of the city.
Jason Clarke is British army officer Lewis Morgan who – unconvention- ally – allows Lubert to stay on in his house. When Morgan’s wife, Rachael (Keira Knightley) arrives she is grieving the loss of their son who died during bombing raid back in England. The story turns from resent to one of love, but we won’t spoilt it for you!
