    Storyline

    Edit
    While holidaying in Berlin, Australian photojournalist Clare meets Andi, a charismatic local man, and there is an instant attraction between them. A night of passion ensues. But what initially appears to be the start of a romance suddenly takes an unexpected and sinister turn when Clare wakes the following morning to discover Andi has left for work and locked her in his apartment. An easy mistake to make, of course, except Andi has no intention of letting her go again. Ever.

    • Quotes

      Andi: What would be the worst thing I could ever do to you? Don't worry... I would never do it. We are a team.

    UNDERRATED FILM.
    Underrated film. Starts slow but elevates the tension as it goes along. A solid unsettling thriller. Hopefully it won't put u off backpacking but it is a good film and will make u think of your choices not to trust everyone.
