GZH & Lamakaan invite you to the German Movie Night this Tuesday evening.

AUS DEM NICHTS Director: Fatih Akin Year: 2017 Language: German (with English Subtitles) Runtime: 106 Minutes Genre: Crime Drama | Legal Thriller | Psychological Revenge

Synopsis: Aus dem Nichts (English title: In the Fade) is a gripping and emotionally raw drama that follows Katja, a woman whose world collapses after her Kurdish-German husband and their young son are killed in a neo-Nazi terrorist bombing in Hamburg. What begins as an unbearable personal tragedy soon becomes a tense courtroom drama, one that tests not only the legal system but Katja’s very sense of justice, identity, and will to go on. When the verdict fails her, she is forced to confront the impossible choice between acceptance and revenge. The film earned widespread critical acclaim, with Diane Kruger winning Best Actress at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival for her powerful portrayal of Katja. It went on to win the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film (2018) and was Germany’s official entry to the 90th Academy Awards, making the shortlist. It was also nominated for Best International Film at the Critics’ Choice Awards and screened at top festivals including TIFF and Telluride. With Fatih Akin’s deft direction and Kruger’s searing performance, Aus dem Nichts explores grief, justice, and the emotional toll of loss. But more than a personal journey, it’s a haunting social commentary on racism, terrorism, and legal failure. Dark, emotionally charged, and deeply relevant, Aus dem Nichts is a must-watch for fans of world cinema, courtroom thrillers, and psychological drama that lingers long after the credits roll.
