Maria travels to the Mediterranean to help people who are stranded at sea. Marcel founds an escort service to protect women from “intrusive immigrants.” Petra takes in a traumatized refugee. And the asylum shelter director Gerald is put to the test by a resident. In David Clay Diaz’s prominently cast feature film, right-wing and left-wing views of the world clash—both staking a claim to the absolute. Have ethics become an overly moral fashion trend, in which the ego’s quest for recognition self-righteously steps to the fore?
