Future Is a Lonely Place (2021): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2021, Future Is a Lonely Place is a notable film directed by Martin Hawie, running about 101 minutes. “In order to take revenge on the man responsible for the death of his family Frank commits a crime to end up in the same prison like their “murderer”. There he starts his campaign of vengeance” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Frank, a man without a criminal record, attacks a money transporter and then turns himself in to the police. His behavior is a mystery. In prison he meets the unscrupulous and suspicious Arab Fuad, who is protected by his clan. To get closer to Fuad, Frank intervenes in the drug business within the walls and gets caught between the two rival groups of German and Arab inmates. It is only the prison guard Susanna with whom Frank will be able to build a relationship of trust, not knowing that she is part of Fuad’s business and has a sexual relationship with him. However, they come emotionally close. What only Frank knows is that his wife and his daughter died in a car accident. Fuad was the hit-and-run driver that remained unpunished. Frank seeks revenge.

Who’s in it. Future Is a Lonely Place stars Lucas Gregorowicz as Frank, Denis Moschitto as Fuad, Katharina Schüttler as Susana and Ronald Kukulies as Walter, among others.
