(Roter Himmel)

From acclaimed German director Christian Petzold (Transit, Undine, Phoenix) comes an intelligent and compelling film, full of humour and tragedy.

Writer Leon and photographer Felix travel to a holiday home on the Baltic coast for a working holiday - but their plans are upended when they arrive to find Nadja, an unexpected houseguest, already settled in. Meanwhile the area’s forest fires, once far away, draw closer.
