Expressionist noir. The film is heavily influenced by German Expressionism (e.g., The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari ) and film noir.

The story follows Peter Perg (played by Murathan Muslu), a detective who returns home to Vienna in 1920 after years of captivity in a Russian prisoner-of-war camp. He finds a city completely changed by the end of the Empire—impoverished, turbulent, and struggling with a "lost generation" of traumatized veterans.

A cool-headed forensic doctor who aids Perg, bringing intelligence and her own hidden scars to the investigation. Max von der Groeben: A young, suspicious police officer. ‎'Hinterland' review by Gavin McDowell • Letterboxd
