"Joy Division" is a 2006 film directed by Reg Traviss.

Plot

Ed Stoppard plays Thomas, a German who narrates his life from the formative years of his adolescence when his country was invaded by the Russians and he fought unsuccessfully as one of Hitler's Joy Division youth troops; through his subsequent years in the early sixties working as a spy for the Russians during the Cold War. How he came to turn his back on his own country and work for the people who had destroyed his early life forms the core of the character's story, which is mostly revealed in flashbacks.

Thomas is assigned to kill operatives the KGB no longer trusts; or as his younger self, reacts to the harrowing events that are inflicted around him as he develops from victim to soldier, then back to victim again at the hands of the Russians. He falls in love with Yvonne (played by Michelle Gayle), while on assignment in England; She has no idea what he is really employed to do.

Tom Schilling plays the younger Thomas, who sees his native Germany destroyed by the Russian invaders. His family is killed, leaving him orphaned, and with only his girlfriend Melanie (Bernadette Heerwagen) left.
