NATIONAL PREMIERES
Enemies (Ferdinand von Schirach: Feinde – Das Geständnis) (Germany)
From acclaimed German author Ferdinand von Schirach comes this high-concept, two-part crime drama that is told from two different perspectives. One follows police inspector Peter Nadler (Bjarne Mädel, Crime Scene Cleaner), the other follows defense attorney, Konrad Biegler (Oscar® nominee Klaus Maria Brandauer, Out of Africa).
Following the kidnapping of a wealthy family’s daughter and demand for a ransom, it’s up to veteran investigator Peter Nadler (Mädel) to find the girl quickly and bring her home safely. There’s only circumstantial evidence pointing to a suspect, yet Nadler’s intuition and experience tell him he has his guy. But the suspect isn’t talking and the clock is ticking, so Nadler decides to take the law into his own hands. Defense attorney Konrad Biegler (Brandauer) thinks Nadler overstepped his bounds and went too far, and sets about turning the tables on the case to save his client.

Part supernatural thriller, part satire, this drama features spooky goings-on alongside pedestrian human activites. Examples of the former include a spiritualist patient who hears the sounds of a girl crying in the hospital, a woman who gets pregnant by a ghost, and a ghostly ambulance that drives up to the hospital and disappears each night, amongst others. Of the latter, there are cover-ups, illegal activities, and unrequited love.
The Kindom: Season 1 begins streaming in in North America, the UK, Ireland, Latin America, Turkey, and India on Sunday, November 13, followed by Season 2 on Sunday, November 20, exclusively on Mubi, and where available on its digital channels, including Mubi on Amazon.
