Franka Potente

Atomised [Edizione: Regno Unito] Franka Potente

Half brothers Michael (Christian Ulmen) and Bruno (Moritz Bleibtreu) might share the same biological mother, but they could not be more different in their natures. Michael, an introverted scientist, is so wrapped up in his research that he shies away from intimacy, while Bruno is a slave to his darkest sexual fantasies. When Michael's childhood sweetheart Annabelle (Franka Potente) walks back into his life, and Bruno hooks up with the kinky Christiane (Martina Gedeck), things seem to be looking up for the two brothers. But unlike the laws of science, there are no certainties in matters of the heart… Based on Michel Houellebecq's controversial bestselling novel ATOMISED, award-winning director Oskar Roehler's stark, striking film raises questions of biological evolution, love and fate.
