Synopsis
Free Country (Freies Land, 2020) is a German crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Christian Alvart and starring Trystan Pütter and Felix Kramer.
Eastern Germany, 1992. Reunification is official on paper, but this remote border town feels nothing like liberation — the old suspicions are intact, the walls just moved. Two detectives arrive to investigate the disappearance of two teenage girls: Markus Bach, a former Stasi officer who knows how to apply pressure, and Patrick Stein, a Hamburg commissioner who prefers evidence. When the bodies turn up — mutilated — it becomes clear earlier victims went missing too. Nobody pushed very hard to find them.
Alvart builds dread through the landscape itself: grey light, half-empty streets, people trained by decades of surveillance to ask nothing. As a procedural it is meticulous; as a portrait of a society still haunted by its recent past, it cuts deeper. Stream Free Country (2020) online on iFILM.
