Hinterland

Synopsis

The year is 1920. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has fallen and what remains has devolved into social unrest and political turmoil. Peter Perg (Murathan Muslu), a soldier of the Great War, returns home to a nightmarish Vienna he no longer recognizes. A serial killer is on the loose, and Perg soon discovers that he is personally connected to the victims. Pulled back into his old duties as a former police detective, he finds an ally in the cool-headed forensic doctor Theresa Körner (Liv Lisa Fries), and their investigation leads them into the darkest corners of the city.

From the director of the Oscar-winning film The Counterfeiters, Hinterland is a visually audacious work of Expressionistic cinema that received the Audience Award at the Locarno International Film Festival.
