Watch Diane Kruger's Cannes-Winning Performance For In The Fade

The trailer for In The Fade is out today--the film that won Diane Kruger Best Actress at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Kruger plays Katja, a woman whose husband and son are unexpectedly murdered in a bomb attack. When the police identify two neo-Nazis as the prime suspects and take them to trial, Katja is pushed to the brink of her sanity. As the film's synopsis puts it:

"Out of nowhere, Katja's life falls apart when her husband Nuri and little son Rocco are killed in a bomb attack. Her friends and family try to give her the support she needs, and Katja somehow manages to make it through the funeral. But the mind numbing search for the perpetrators and reasons behind the senseless killing complicate Katja's painful mourning, opening wounds and doubts. Danilo, a lawyer and Nuri's best friend, represents Katja in the eventual trial against the two suspects: a young couple from the neo-Nazi scene. The trial pushes Katja to the edge, but there's simply no alternative for her: she wants justice."

In The Fade is directed by Fatih Akin and comes out December 27. Take a look at the trailer, below:
