Wim Wanders is back with an international coproduction that focuses on James (James McAvoy), a Scottish spy under cover and Danny (Alicia Vikander), a bio-mathematician who is part of a deep-sea diving project. On an encounter in a faraway French resort they instantly fall in love with each other. A love that is passionate and true but probably with no future because of their high-risk professions. James is preparing for a deadly mission in Somalia and Danny is about to dive to the bottom of the ocean. Despite of all obstacles of life – James is kidnapped by jihadists and his life is in grave danger, the lovers are desperate to reconnect, to get to know each other better and to have a chance to develop their relationship in a world, torn apart by political games, ecological catastrophes and social insecurity.
