In the Fade (German: Aus dem Nichts) is a 2017 German drama film written and directed by Fatih Akin. It stars Diane Kruger as a German woman whose Turkish-Kurdish husband and son are killed in a terrorist attack perpetrated by neo-Nazis. It was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or in the main competition section at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival,[3][4] where Kruger won the Best Actress award.[5] It was selected as the German entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards,[6] making the December shortlist,[7] but it was ultimately not nominated. It did, however, win the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.[8]
