Genuinely shot across 22 locations in a single 134-minute take, director Sebastian Schipper's film Victoria  captures a tale of a disillusioned Spanish foreigner (Laia Costa), looking for thrills in Berlin. After meeting four men in a nightclub, she's spontaneously caught up in a bank robbery during a wild night on Berlin’s boulevard of broken dreams.
