Die Unschuld des Todes

Twelve-year-old Haljan will follow in his mother's footsteps and become Death, although he would like to avoid this destiny. Through Zoë, who is the same age, he learns to understand and accept his fate. Even though it means that he has to accompany his only friend to her death.

Directed by Olga Müller, Die Unschuld des Todes leans on a strong ensemble — Louis Guillaume, Elida Durgun, Reiner Wagner — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2022.
