It's the stuff crime novels are made of. A bunch of behaviorally creative dropouts on a small island in the Pacific, fueled by envy, greed and hatred. In the end, there are deaths. What happened exactly 90 years ago on the Galapagos idyll of Floreana is still unclear today. In the middle of the madness instead of just being there: a fake noblewoman from Vienna. Krone+ knows the details.

A weird doctor and Nietzsche fanatic who lives with his lover as a toothless savage. A hard-working couple with a twelve-year-old son and another child on the way. Plus an eccentric Viennese baroness with her boy toy in tow. They are all looking for paradise. Four of them meet their deaths. What happens exactly 90 years ago on the desert island of Floreana is an outrageous story full of sex, envy, intrigue, hatred and murder.

"The idea of leaving the treadmill of civilization behind and living a life in complete seclusion was and is fascinating. The only problem is: the madness of our world always follows us, no matter which secluded island we hide away on," says Hollywood filmmaker Dan Geller, who, together with creative partner Dayna Goldfine, adapted the murder story in the documentary "The Galapagos Affair" (2013), in an interview with Krone+.

For their critically acclaimed film, the Emmy award-winning duo were able to secure top-class actors such as Cate Blanchett, Diane Kruger and Josh Radnor as narrators. Goldfine: "All these people set off in search of their own personal paradise, their Garden of Eden. What terrible things can happen when one's own idea of paradise collides with other ideas is shown here." It all begins so peacefully.
