Brisk, superbly staged, and gripping neo-noir thriller from exceptional German director Christoph Hochhäusler.

The ace hitwoman Tez (Sophie Verbeeck) is hired by the powerful Brussels gangster boss Charles Mahr (Louis-Do de Lencquesaing) to avenge the murder of one of his couriers. However, she soon finds herself caught up in a web of lies and intrigue. Who is manipulating and using whom becomes ever more difficult to discern – and the huntress herself becomes the hunted.

With his latest work, acclaimed German auteur Christoph Hochhäusler has created a masterfully directed and suspenseful neo-noir thriller in the style of French polar films.
