COLD HELL (Die Hölle)

Özge is a young Turkish-born taxi driver who attends evening classes and she is also a Thai-boxer. She rarely speaks and trains hard. One day she witnesses an extremely brutal murder. The suspect is an insane serial killer, inspired by Islam. Convinced that Özge has seen him, he is ready to do anything to find her. A life-and-death struggle between them ensues.
