Katja’s life falls apart in the blink of an eye when two neo-Nazis kill her husband and 6-year-old son in a bomb attack. Her quest for justice soon pushes her to the edge as the two suspects stand trial for murder.
The Golden Globe Best Foreign Language winner In The Fade also won Diane Kruger a Cannes Best Actress award. Based on a true story of neo-Nazi attacks in Hamburg, Germany, Kruger delivers a career-defining performance as a wife and mother dealing with grief that prompts a radical reaction.
This unforgettable thriller is by leading Turkish-German filmmaker Fatih Akin (Head-On), who jets in to London to hold Q&As after the Rio screening of his film at the East End Film Festival (EEFF). The festival will hold a second screening of the film at Curzon Aldgate on Saturday 21 April.
