A NEW HORIZON

  • A strong female protagonist succeeds in an environment dominated by men – inspired by real-life female war correspondents of the 20th century. 

Korea and Berlin at the beginning of the Cold War – the world is split into East and West.

Korea, 1950: the young journalist Nellie is the only woman reporting on the war between North and South Korea. Not knowing whether she will survive her work as a war correspondent, she also has to battle a personal trauma. Seven years ago, her twin sister, Laura, with whom she grew up on their father’s ship, disappeared. Nellie finds support in the press photographer Jake; theirs was love at first sight. But Jake must return to Berlin to document his hometown’s rebuilding process. Not to mention that he has a score to settle with someone there… While the world falls apart, splits into two halves, Nellie is fighting on several fronts – not least for her happiness.
