Tom, a former tennis champion, now works at a luxury resort in the Canary Islands, giving
lessons to tourists and drowning his boredom in the local nightclub. When the Maguire family
arrives at the hotel, Tom – convinced he has met Anne before – offers to show them around the
island. But when her husband suddenly disappears one night and the police launch an
investigation, suspicion falls on both Tom and Anne. Blending Antonioni’s L’Avventura with
the noir tradition, this psychological thriller is the latest work from Jan-Ole Gerster, returning to
Scanorama for the second time.
