Filmmakers
Dayna Goldfine and
Dan Geller
investigate an intriguing historical mystery that still remains
unsolved nearly 100 years after the fact in this documentary featuring
the voices of
Cate Blanchett,
Diane Kruger,
Thomas Kretschmann,
Connie Nielsen,
Gustaf Skarsgård,
Sebastian Koch, and
Josh Radnor.
The macabre story begins in 1929. Determined to seek out the solitude
that would free him up to become a great philosopher, German physician
Friedrich Ritter (
Kretschmann) and his lover Dore (
Blanchett)
set sail for deserted Floreana Island. A tiny enclave in the Galapagos
Islands, it was the kind of picturesque paradise that takes some people a
lifetime to find. Yet their solitude was short-lived, because once the
press caught wind of the couple's extraordinary adventure, curious
newcomers such as the adventuresome Wittmer family from Germany and
Austrian Baroness Eloise von Wagner Bosquet (
Nielsen)
decided that they, too, should experience life on Floreana Island.
Unfortunately, there would never be enough resources on this tiny
archipelago to sustain the dreams of everyone involved, and later when
some of the islanders begin vanishing without a trace, the truth about
what really transpired in the middle of the Pacific Ocean would become
the stuff of legend.
