Plot

A mute man with a violent past is forced to take on the teeming underworld of a near-future Berlin as he searches for his missing girlfriend.

Sinekatalog’s take

A neon-soaked, near-future Berlin noir about a voiceless man hunting for the woman he loves. The production design is handsome and the mood is melancholy, but the story wanders, and its odd tonal swerves leave the central search feeling diluted. Interesting for sci-fi completists, frustrating for everyone else.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
