THE WORLD ECONOMY COLLAPSED AS A RESULT OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR.

FASCISM IS SPREADING.

PEOPLE ARE DESPERATE TO FIND A WAY OUT.

DR. FRIEDRICH RITTER AND DORE STRAUCH LEAVE GERMANY AND TRAVEL

AROUND THE WORLD TO THE UNINHABITED ISLAND OF FLOREANA.

ON THE GALAPAGOS ARCHIPELAGO.

THE WORLD LEARNS OF RITTER'S RECLUSIVE LIFE THROUGH HIS LETTERS,

WHICH ARE OCCASIONALLY PICKED UP BY A PASSING SHIP.

RITTER'S MISSION:

TO WRITE A RADICALLY NEW PHILOSOPHY

THAT WILL SAVE MANKIND FROM ITSELF.

INSPIRED BY THE STORIES OF THOSE WHO SURVIVED.

BARONESS BUILDS HOTEL ON GALAPAGOS

SPRING

Señora Wittmer is giving birth to her baby.

Alone.

She needs help.

Something is wrong with the mother. Dr Ritter just arrived.

What? You hired me to build a hotel.

This is fucked. You are the devil.

"MURDER ON FLOREANA" by Dr. Friederich Ritter

THE BODIES OF THE BARONESS AND

ROBERT PHILIPPSON WERE NEVER FOUND.

DORE STRAUCH RETURNS TO GERMANY,

WHERE SHE DIED OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS IN 1943.

BEFORE HER DEATH, DORE PUBLISHED HER VIEW OF THE EVENTS ON FLOREANA.

MARGRET WITTMER RESPONDED WITH HER OWN BOOK THAT CONTRADICTED DORE'S ACCOUNT.

RUDY LORENZ NEVER MADE IT TO ISABELA.

HE AND THE CAPTAIN WERE FOUND 150 NAUTICAL MILES FROM FLOREANA.

HER BOAT RAN OUT OF FUEL AND DRIFTED OFF COURSE.

MARGRET WITTMER LIVED ON FLOREANA UNTIL HER DEATH IN 2000.

SHE WAS 96 YEARS OLD.

HER DESCENDANTS STILL LIVE THERE TODAY.

THEY RUN A SMALL TOURIST HOTEL.
