BERLIN FALLING
Frank Balzer is on his way to the Berlin main train station to pick up his daughter Lily for their first weekend together after a long time. When he picks up hitchhiker Andreas in the Brandenburg countryside he doesn’t realize it will change his life forever. He discovers something in Andreas’ backpack on the way and realizes this was not a chance encounter. A life-or-death battle begins between the two men, showing us that fanatics come in all stripes and that a parent has to do what they’ve got to do when their child is in danger.
