WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Victoria (Costa), a young Spanish woman who has recently moved to Berlin, becomes caught up in a potentially deadly crime during a night out with her friends…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Victoria is being regarded as a modern technical marvel, because everything – from the wholly improvised dialogue (hence no credited writers) to the kinetic and gritty cinematography – was filmed in one, single continuous take with no editing tricks whatsoever.
