You can stream Adelheid (1970) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

In the aftermath of World War II, a soldier takes charge of a manor formerly owned by a German family and falls in love with the daughter, now a maid. Their relationship forces him to confront the tension between his love and his conscience.

A quiet, haunting intensity radiates from the soldier as he struggles to reconcile his newfound authority with a forbidden attraction. This period drama finds its soul in the fragile friction between a changing political landscape and a desperate, private longing.
