Synopsis:

Lola Arendt, 8, vanishes while on vacation on a wild Scottish island. Shattered by her disappearance, her parents, Sarah and Martin, separate. Two years later, Lola is found at the exact same spot. Martin returns to the island to bring her home. His delight at being reunited with Lola soon gives way to suspicion and fear. Why won't Lola talk? Who are these men watching them? What did Sarah know about Lola's disappearance? And who is beautiful and mysterious Norah Kross? When the weather conspires to stop them leaving, Martin and Lola embark on a journey across the island with Norah, headed for a tragic discovery...

When eight-year-old Lola Arendt (Pauline Haugness) goes missing while on a family holiday on the Scottish island of Bac Mor, her parents are devastated. Martin (Michael Youn) takes to the bottle and his marriage to concert cellist Sarah (Emilie Dequenne) collapses. Two years later, Lola shows up in exactly the same spot where she vanished and Martin returns to the island to collect her. She is in good health but appears to have lost the power of speech. On the ferry to the mainland she is befriended by a mysterious young woman in a blond wig and fishnet tights who presents herself as the rock star Norah Kross (Fanny Valette). Then an electrical storm forces the ferry to return to the island where the rest of the action (or rather, Martin's inner torment) is played out.

The Crossing is a psychological thriller that starts with every parent's nightmare, the sudden, unexplained disappearance of a child, and plunges into a realm of paranoia and dark fantasy.
