Ibiza, the early nineties, Jo is a twenty-five-year-old music composer. He has come over from Berlin and wants to be part of the nascent electronic music revolution, ideally by getting a job first as a DJ in the new nightclub on the island, Amnesia. Martha has been living alone in her house facing the sea for forty years. One night Jo knocks on her door. Her solitude intrigues him. They become friends even as the mysteries around her accumulate: that cello in the corner she refuses to play, the German language she refuses to speak... As Jo draws her into his world of techno music, Martha puts everything she had previously lived by into question. (Cannes Film Festival)

The name of the movie Amnesia does contain a nice double-meaning, but until I checked how old Marthe Keller and Bruno Ganz were I couldn’t believe them that they could have looked so young in the early 1990s. When I apologized to them in my mind, I got angry again because such music couldn’t have been played in Ibiza in the early 1990s. More like the turn of the century, but what can you do. I still stand by my opinion that I’ve never seen a movie where Nazis were forced into the plot more brutally than here.
