At its core, Roula is a psychological thriller that masquerades as a romantic drama. The film follows Leon Bachstein (Martin Umbach), a successful writer of children's books, who is plagued by a profound emotional and creative block. Two years prior, his wife died in a motorcycle accident, leaving him unable to write or connect with others on an emotional level. In a desperate attempt to break free from his trauma, he travels with his twelve-year-old daughter, Tanja (Tina Hamperl), to a remote summer vacation spot on the picturesque Danish coast. Roula 1995
