What is Colonia about?

Colonia is about a woman’s (Emma Watson) frantic search for her abducted boyfriend (Daniel Brühl) in a cult.

Watson plays Lena, and Brühl is her missing boyfriend, Daniel. When they got entangled in a Chilean coup in 1973, Daniel was taken by the secret police.

The hunt draws her to Colonia Dignidad, an infamous sect nobody has ever escaped. Presenting itself as a charitable mission led by a faithful preacher (Michael Nyqvist), it’s actually a cult run by a Nazi.

The story is loosely based on a true story, as the sect and the preacher were real. To learn more about the events, there’s a Netflix true crime documentary called A Sinister Sect: Colonia Dignidad.
