Christina is a police officer who needs to investigate a mysterious case in a small village, in the middle of the desert in Namibia. There, grizzly animals were sacrificed —and their deaths could be connected to the disappearance of the villager’s children. It all gets even stranger when a German farm is found hanging from the same tree in which, one century ago, Christina’s ancestors were killed.
Presented in the Harbour section at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.
