In his second feature, the director envisions an even more drastic post-apocalyptic scenario – this time in a largely flooded world.

The space colony Kepler-209 launches a mission named Ulysses, aimed at investigating whether Earth, which has been devastated by a global catastrophe, can be repopulated. It is already the second attempt of its kind, after all participants of the first expedition mysteriously disappeared. Among them was the father of young astronaut Louise Blake. When an accident occurs during her spacecraft’s reentry into Earth’s atmosphere, Louise is left to fend for herself.

Filmed partly in the Wadden Sea and partly in a studio, the film’s world is visually impressive, believable, and entirely distinctive.

Director

Schon für seine frühen Kurzfilme erhielt der Schweizer Regisseur Tim Fehlbaum erste Preise. Dann folgte mit ›Hell‹ ein beeindruckendes Genredebüt, daraufhin ein erster englischsprachiger Film ›Tides‹ und schließlich der internationale Durchbruch mit ›September 5‹, der mit einer Oscar-Nominierung seinen Höhepunkt fand. In diesem Jahr ehren wir Tim Fehlbaum mit dem GRAND IFFMH AWARD.
