A modern version of the Robinson Crusoe story – a highly original exploration of the experience of solitude and survival. A woman inexplicably finds herself cut off from all human contact when an invisible, unyielding wall suddenly surrounds the countryside. Accompanied by her loyal dog Lynx, she becomes immersed in a world untouched by civilization and ruled by the laws of nature. Based on the hugely popular allegorical German novel, the film stars Martina Gedeck in a performance of rare and vivid intensity.
“This mesmerising, austere and contemplative film provides a rarefied yet utterly immersive viewing experience.” (Trevor Johnston – Time Out)
