Ahead of its release next month, a trailer has arrived online for director Fatih Akin’s German drama In the Fade. The film received its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year where it was nominated for the Palme d’or Award, with star Diane Kruger also receiving the award for Best Actress; watch it below after the official synopsis…
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 against 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 is set for release on December 27th and features a cast that also includes Denis Moschitto, Johannes Krisch, Ulrich Tukur, Samia Chancrin, Numan Acar, and Rafael Santana.
