portrait of a 1930s murder mystery set in the famous Pacific island chain off

the coast of Ecuador. Fleeing conventional society, a Berlin doctor and his

mistress start a new life on the uninhabited Floreana Island. But after their

hideaway is discovered by the international press, others flock there—including

a self-styled Swiss Family Robinson and a gun-toting Viennese Baroness and her

two lovers. To bring this extraordinary story to life, filmmakers Dayna

Goldfine and Dan Geller (Ballets Russes) nimbly interweave newly

unearthed home movies of these original settlers; testimonies of modern day islanders;

stunning HD footage of native flora and fauna; and powerful voice performances

by Oscar® winner Cate Blanchett, Diane Kruger, Connie Nielsen, Sebastian Koch,

Thomas Kretschmann, Gustaf Skarsgård and Josh Radnor. The Galapagos Affair is a

gripping story of adventure and utopian dreams gone awry.
