Former East Germany, 1992. Patrick Stein and Markus Bach, two very different police officers, are commissioned to investigate the disappearance of two female teenagers in a remote area of the country. Did they run away from home or did something more terrible happen to them?

VIBE

A hauntingly atmospheric thriller set in post-reunification Germany. It's a slow-burn investigation that feels heavy with the ghosts of the past, exploring the lingering unease and moral ambiguity of a nation in flux.
