A coroner finds a capsule in the head of a heavily mutilated corpse, containing a phone number and single word: the name of his daughter.
Acting
Bleibtreu ages ten years in real-time panic—exhausting and magnetic.
Direction
Alvart weaponizes geography; that island is a character and it's evil.

Flashbacks that answer nothing, then everything, then worse questions.
Director
Christian Alvart
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Sebastian Fitzek's novel 'Abgeschnitten,' which德国人 apparently couldn't put down despite needing therapy afterward.
