In 2011, young couple Daniela Widmer (Morgane Ferru, Berlin Syndrome) and David Osch (Sven Schelker, Goliath) are on their way home from Pakistan to Switzerland after months of travelling in a camper van. 

As they drive along the old Silk Road, they end up in the hands of violent criminals who abduct them and sell them to the Taliban in war-torn Waziristan, over 500km away. The two of them are held hostage in the most precarious conditions and hardly anyone expects them to get out alive. Do they chance a daring escape and free themselves from the Taliban’s clutches? 

Michael Steiner (The Swiss Miss Massacre) helms an intense thriller that kept Switzerland on tenterhooks for months. This incredible true story based on Daniela and David’s own written account of events, And Tomorrow We Will Be Dead celebrated its world premiere as the opening film of the 2021 Zurich Film Festival.

Steiner masters the big scenes as well as the intimate, small ones.
