A translator visits a solitary writer and start telling a story about his attempt to kill his wife when she told him was leaving with another man. The story seem entangled with the last manuscript of missing writer he was translating.
In any case, the story unfolds quite slow; Benno Fürmann is not particularly charismatic and Ben Kingsley's is basically an cynical egomaniac so there is no much to root for.
The ending is interesting but to be there you have to wait over 90 minutes of a catatonic tale. Perhaps there are people who love these slow burn thrillers but I did not find any suspense or interest in the characters at all.
Considering this is the director of original Girl with the Dragoon Tattoo I hope the next installments will be better.
