ISLANDS
In this twisty thriller, a tennis coach at a tropical resort finds himself at the center of a missing persons mystery. Tom (Sam Riley) teaches tennis during the day and parties at night. When an enigmatic tourist (Stacy Martin) arrives, Tom is unable to shake the feeling he has met her before. Tension and attraction grow, until her husband (Jack Farthing) disappears, and the police suspect Tom.

“Five stars! Audiences are in for a scorching, sun-frazzled Hitchcockian delight from German director Jan-Ole Gerster.” -London Evening Standard
“A gripping tennis noir that feels like Challengers by way of Patricia Highsmith…Hypnotic from start to finish and unexpectedly hopeful.” -Indiewire

Presented in cooperation with Greenwich Entertainment, the Goethe-Institut, and Laemmle Theaters.
