Rieke, an experienced emergency doctor, embarks on a solo sailing journey from Gibraltar to Ascencion Island, settled halfway between the distant coasts of Brazil and Africa. During quiet seas Rieke pores over detailed maps and guide books of the island’s fabricated jungle designed by Charles Darwin, emerging from the unforgiving waters of the Atlantic Ocean. After Mother Nature delivers a relentless storm, Rieke awakens in an exhausted stupor to find a large ship bobbing in the distance. The boat is unreachable by radio communication, but a closer look shows the stranded passengers on board are in real danger. Alone at sea, Rieke faces a life-or-death decision: await help that may never come, or trust her human instinct to try and save as many people as she can before it’s too late. An ominous ode to Darwin’s “survival of the fittest,” STYX dives into murky ethical waters that leave you gasping for your next breath. (In English, German, and Swahili with subtitles) —A.B.
