Adopt Films has acquired U.S. rights to Frederik Steiner's feature debut, "Zurich." The film world premiered at the Hof Film Festival in Munich and follows independent-minded, twenty-year old, Lea, who has suffered from cystic fibrosis since birth, and elects to take her own life by sneaking across the boarder to a private clinic in Zurich. The film features newcomer Liv Lisa Fries as Lea, and co-stars Kerstin de Anna and Lena Stolze. The original screenplay is by Barbara te Kock, and the film was produced by Peter Heilrath, Andreas Bareiss, and Sven Burgemeister in co-production with Arri. Adopt Films President Tim Grady and its Executive VP, Marketing & Distribution Jeff Lipsky negotiated the deal with Arri Worldsales’ Director of Sales and Acquisitions Moritz Hemminger. In a joint statement Grady and Lipsky opined: “'Zurich’ got under our skin like few other films in years. Liv Lisa Fries’ performance is a revelation.
