Sabbatical (2026)

sun-drenched dreadmarriage autopsyfamily vacation gone feral

Overview

Drama

Tara and Robert treat themselves to a year abroad with their little daughter Nia. Out of the mill: sea, sun, togetherness. But the hoped-for time out does not fulfill their desire for less work or fewer conflicts. When Robert's brother Joni shows up, a true bon vivant - or loser, depending on how you look at it - and Nia has a serious accident, new dynamics enter the nuclear family. Greece becomes a baptism of fire for the family...

Standout Aspects

Acting

Saleh and Pütter weaponize passive-aggression like Olympic sport.

Cinematography

Greece shot as gorgeous cage, paradise rotting from within.

Best for:Solo: When you need to feel better about your own family dysfunction.·Date Night: Only if you're testing whether your relationship can survive anything.
Heads up:Emotional: Child injury depicted; parental helplessness is the real horror.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

Angerbauer filmed during actual Greek heat waves, pushing cast toward genuine exhaustion that bleeds into performances.

Memorable

The dinner scene where Joni opens the 'wrong' wine was improvised—Sebastian Urzendowsky's genuine laugh at Trystan Pütter's rage made the final cut.
