"This film succeeds in documenting a voyage into the unknown - it shows how the crew survives in a confined space, with no kitchen, no bathroom and no escort vessel. They are confronted with excruciatingly calm seas and extreme storms, and are torn between optimism and despair." HAMBURGER ABENDBLATT

"a haunting and well phrased warning" FOCUS ONLINE
"retraces an extraordinary trajectory that took (Stiller) from a small village in Thuringia to the heart of the CIA." PARIS MATCH
