Gefangen im Paradies (2016)
The story of Anna from Berlin, who is on vacation somewhere on an island in Southeast Asia with her twelve-year-old son Max. The first images show the woman panicking underwater; only then does the film switch into vacation mode and delights with postcard shots of the Pacific paradise. The idyll is only disturbed by the noticeably darker intercutting shots of a group of locals whose behavior does not bode well. The vacation mood is abruptly ended shortly afterwards: The men turn out to be pirates who take the resort's guests hostage. However, Anna manages to escape; the first thing she does is set fire to the criminals' boats to prevent them from leaving the island.
