The explosive movie is directed by Kraume, who also wrote the screenplay and was able to recruit an all-star cast: Daniel Brühl, August Diehl, Johanna Wokalek, Bernadette Heerwagen, Susanne Lothar and many more. Filming is scheduled to start in mid-August.

 DAYS TO COME follows the lives of a middle-class family in Berlin from the present day into a realistic, near future, in a time of great uncertainty and changes. After finishing university Laura Kuper (Bernadette Heerwagen) must make a choice between her desire to have children and Hans (Daniel Brühl), the great love of her life, because of a rare antibody reaction. Her sister Cecilia (Johanna Wokalek) is driven into the depths of a newly emerging form of terrorism by her unrequited love for Konstantin (August Diehl), and Philip, the family’s youngest child, does his bit for Germany in a desperate war for the last Asian oil fields. A destabilised family faces their future hopes and fears in a destabilised world.  

"Lars Kraume and his team at Badlands Film presented us with an outstanding and very exciting script and have developed a fascinating film project. This is precisely the kind of unusual and innovative material with talented creators behind it that we are looking for. We are very proud to be making DAYS TO COME together with Badlands Film," said Thomas Peter Friedl, Managing Director of UFA Cinema. "Living in a world full of dramatic change as we currently are, the team working on this project can think of nothing more liberating than transferring the preoccupation with our present and potential near future world into the fictional arena of the cinema. We couldn’t have wished for a more motivating or courageous partner than Thomas Peter Friedl and UFA Cinema to ensure that the finished film gives audiences the same exciting encounter with the days to come. We are very much looking forward to working together," said Lars Kraume.
