"QUARANTINE" is a 2020 shortfilm written and shot during the 2020 pandemic. The project was launchet at this unique time to get a good use out of the empty schedules of many swiss filmmakers at the time. With live editing the short also introduced technical changes to productions. The crew and cast assembly was designed to test new workflows for our upcomming feature film NYM.

OVERVIEW
Winterhart, a crime thriller told in two timelines, takes us into the story of the injustice done to a young man, his descent into darkness, and the narrow path to salvation. It takes place in a city where brute power seems to have trumped the rule of law, where even the police don’t know who to trust. One person – Play – sees a way to turn the criminals’ tactics against themselves. But when a nine-year-old-girl is taken hostage, suddenly the stakes have changed, and people’s true colours are going to show through. This story does not unfold in a linear way; instead, it takes an enthralling and intriguing path through time, cutting back and forth between years, to build a tale of suspense and great twists.
