„KRIM beeindruckt mit seiner vielschichtigen Handlung und hochwertigen Produktion trotz eines bescheidenen Budgets. Der Film vereint geschickt Elemente von Thriller, Sci-Fi und Cyberpunk und stellt moralische und existenzielle Fragen auf subtile Weise. Die herausragenden Leistungen des Ensembles, gepaart mit akribischer Liebe zum Detail in Ästhetik und Kameraarbeit, schaffen ein fesselndes und immersives Erlebnis. Kurz gesagt, ein filmisches Juwel, das seine Kürze überwindet und einen bleibenden Eindruck bei den Zuschauern hinterlässt.“
European International Film Festival

SYNOPSIS

In a dystopian vision of the future, a mysterious secret agent is lost on a mission. When her commanding division picks her up again, they perform a series of tests in a harsh government facility. They find something’s missing from her memories, a new objective that she is determined to keep to herself. A manipulative game of questions and answers evolves.

KRIM is a transhumanist sci-fi thriller that asks how far we are willing to go. It questions the human tendency to authoritarian structures, explores technological advances impacting the nature of conflicts and what freedom means to the individual identity.
