Drama
Rike is forty, a successful doctor whose job demands everything of her. She intends to use her much-needed annual holiday to fulfill her long-cherished dream of sailing alone from Gibraltar to Ascension, a small tropical island in the middle of the Atlantic. Her desire for a carefree holiday seems to be coming to pass but then, after a storm, her beautiful adventure suddenly turns into an unprecedented challenge when she spots a badly damaged, hopelessly overloaded refugee boat nearby.

_Styx_ is that whiny office aide who keeps running up to you complaining about a problem everyone already knows about yet can do nothing to resolve. "Yes, Robin, we know it's a problem." "But it's a prooooobleeeeem!" "It's out of our hands, Robin." "But it's a biiiiiiiig problem." "Go somewhere else and make yourself useful, Robin." I felt a bit betrayed by this maritime drama because the original storyline (a doctor taking her yacht to Ascension Island which includes a forest engineered by Charles Darwin!) was far more interesting than the socio-political drama about refugees that hijacked the plot. The film is beautifully made (the wide shots of the boat at sea were gorgeous), and Susanne Wolff captains the film admirably as the lead, but the movie they made is little more than a political message in a bottle.

'Styx' reminds us of the plight of refugees who risk everything in the ocean, and the damage caused by bureaucracy and by-the-book policy.

A story about a choice between two equally untenable options

a group of people in a boat will die unless you intervene; what do you do? And if the answer sounds obvious, what if the question is contextualised by explaining the people are African refugees trying to reach Europe illegally. And you've More
