Fifteen years ago, the sea and all of the children disappeared from the shore of Wildholm, a small sea-side village. From that day on, grave silence prevails in the village with empty streets and neglected houses. All of the adults lose their hope and zest for life with the disappearance of the children. Jana and Micha, two young physicists, leave Berlin and visit the village to research this mysterious situation. The villagers treat them petulantly and no one wants to help them. Hanna, the last young person remaining in the village, is the only one who shows interest in their research. Together they try to lift up the curtain of fog that lingers on the event. We Are The Tide premiered in the Perspektive Deutches Kino category at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival.
