IN THE FADE
Aus dem Nichts

Winner of Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actress Award at Cannes Film Festival

Directed by Fatih Akın

Cast: Diane Kruger, Denis Moschitto, Numan Acar

2017 / 105 min. / In German with English subtitles

Out of nowhere, Katja’s life falls apart when her husband Nuri and little son Rocco are killed in a bomb attack. Her friends and family try to give her the support she needs, and Katja somehow manages to make it through the funeral. But the mind-numbing search for the perpetrators and reasons behind the senseless killing complicate Katja’s painful mourning, opening wounds and doubts. Danilo, a lawyer and Nuri’s best friend, represents Katja in the eventual trial of the two suspects: a young couple from the neo-Nazi scene. The trial pushes Katja to the edge, but there’s simply no alternative for her: she wants justice. 

In the Fade received the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, and the Best Actress award for Diane Kruger at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.
