And Tomorrow We Will Be Dead

In 2011, young Swiss couple Daniela Widmer and David Och fulfil a long-awaited wish and travel along the ancient Silk Road through Pakistan. The trip suddenly turns into a nightmare, when the two are kidnapped en-route, taken to war-torn Waziristan and handed over to the Taliban. It's the beginning of an anxious eight-month ordeal, spent as hostages under the most precarious of conditions. With And Tomorrow We Will Be Dead, director Michael Steiner adapted the true story that kept Switzerland in suspense ten years ago. The only civilians so far to escape from the Taliban under their own steam are portrayed in the film by actors Morgane Ferru and Sven Schelker. And Tomorrow We Will Be Dead is a gripping Swiss thriller with blockbuster potential. (Zurich Film Festival)
