In the Fade

In this hard-hitting, fiercely anti-Nazi film by Fatih Akin, Diane Kruger stars (and wins big at Cannes) as a woman who loses everything, is betrayed by the system and decides to take revenge. Akin also casts, in a surprising role, the acclaimed director Yannis Economides!

Synopsis

A woman's life collapses when her Kurdish-born husband and their young son are killed in a bombing. With the help of friends and relatives, she barely manages to endure, but the search for the culprits and the motives behind the tragedy keeps her up at night. Her husband's lawyer and best friend represents her in the trial against two suspects: a young couple in neo-Nazi circles. The court's ruling will drive her over the edge.
