Distant Lights

Directed by Hans-Christian Schmid

With Maria Simon, Alice Dwyer, Devid Striesow, Sebastian Urzendowsky and August Diehl

Two countries, two towns, one river. The Oder River separates not only Frankfurt in Germany from Slubice in Poland, but entire worlds. People, whether rich or poor, come here in search of happiness—and often find themselves pushed to their limits. A film about people who, by a twist of fate, are inextricably linked for two days—stealing and cheating, loving and helping, hoping and despairing.
