“Susanne Wolff thrills in Wolfgang Fischer’s visceral, oceanic allegory about personal responsibility in the face of the refugee crisis. – Jessica Kiang, Variety

ER doctor Rike (Susanne Wolff) embarks on a one-woman solo sailing trip to Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean. When Rike comes across a sinking ship of refugees, she is quickly torn out of her contented and idealized world and must make a momentous decision.

Aptly named after the mythological river that separates the living from the dead, STYX is an astute modern day parable of Western indifference in the face of marginalized suffering. See Susanne Wolff in the role of a woman pushed to her physical, psychological, and moral limits.
