2011 · 80 min Thriller
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

Berlin’s notorious Neukoelln district. The near future. A time in which the health system has collapsed. A man works in the shadows and without license as a doctor. He has no practice, no appointments system. He treats people in the courtyards and streets – everywhere he’s needed, stealing medicine from pharmacies. Nobody knows his name or that by day he’s the caretaker of a shabby tenement building. He pushes boundaries and suffers defeats that cost him the last of his strength. Forced to adopt the role of a shadow, an outlaw, he is confronted with the question as to whether he really is a doctor.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a gritty social thriller that relies on the stark contrast between the protagonist's daytime and nocturnal existence. It explores the ethical boundary where necessity becomes law and professional identity dissolves into a grey zone of survival.

What lingers after viewing is the weight of moral choices made in the shadows of a broken system, where every act of aid carries a personal cost. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Linus de Paoli

Best Watched

Watch in dim light, feeling the damp chill of Berlin's back courtyards. Preferably alone.
