Cast: Fionn Whitehead, Moritz Bleibtreu, Claudia Trujillo, Kris Hunter, Stephane Bak
Details: The English language debut of German filmmaker Sebastian Schipper and his first film since the acclaimed and incredibly executed real-time single take drama “Victoria”. Co-written with Oliver Ziegenbalg, the German-French co-production was shot over nearly three months in Morocco, Spain and Calais in France.
Set against the backdrop of one of the biggest humanitarian crises of our times, the story follows a young Congolese man who attempts to break through Europe’s borders in search of his brother. He teams up with Gyllen (Dunkirk’s Fionn Whitehead), a wild and sharp-witted British runaway who has fled his family’s holiday in his stepdad’s RV.
