The two of them will die in 24 hours if he doesn’t get back the 30 kilos of cocaine he was forced to abandon.

While observing a drug deal, state police officer Kiel captures drug dealer Jesper Alm. But Alm manages to escape, shooting one of the young girls involved in the deal. His girlfriend Silvi escapes with him, leaving the drugs behind. Since Nora Weiss knows the family of the murdered girl, she is taken off the case by her boss Boehnisch. The escaped drug dealer kidnaps her friend Anna and her father Rainer, and blackmails Nora…

“Nora Weiss returns with Schlaflos to the qualities that made the film serial with Anna Maria Mühe so strong. Director Maria von Heland made a gripping crime thriller. Cristian Pirjol’s cinematography ensures that the visually elaborate thriller appears as cool and elegant as its heroine. However, Schlaflos owes its atmospheric tension primarily to the excellent Florian Tessloff’s music.” – Tittelbach.tv

“Directed and edited at breathtaking pace and well filmed (cinematography Cristian Pirjol); the coldness of the wintry images corresponds excellently with the inner frostiness of the main actress.” – RND.de

“Thrilling, truly dark, incredibly well-thought-out story with some unexpected twists and turns. Photography also contributes to this, creating powerful images that further underscore the drama of the situation.” – Quotenmeter.de
