An American of German descent arrives in post-war Germany 1945. His uncle gets him a job on the Zentropa train line as a sleeping car conductor.

One of the first we've heard about was Rust and Bone, with Marion Cotillard under the direction of A Prophet helmer Jacques Audiard . The second big possible Tiff sale is a sci-fi project called Europa , which will star District 9 's Sharlto Copely and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo 's Michael Nyquist in a story about a mission to Jupiter's fourth moon.
