Leonie Benesch And Frank Van Passel On The Mystery Of “Moresnet,” A European Drama In Which A Time Capsule Carries A Deadly Message

deadline.com:

Moresnet is a storied town and the setting for a European mystery thriller of the same name about a group of friends who dig up a time capsule buried two decades earlier, only to find their names listed inside with dates marked for their death.

Boris Van Severen (Salamander) is the chain-smoking Ben, who returns to Moresnet to bury his father. His homecoming sets in train events that inexorably lead to Thalamus, a huge neuro-technology corporation that in turn holds the key to a darkly secretive project known as Eterneco.

Leonie Benesch (Babylon Berlin) stars as the granddaughter of mysterious Nobel Prize-winning scientist Robert Rolin (Pierre Bokma) and is his successor as CEO at Thalamus.

When Benesch sits down with Deadline she has just seen the finished show for the very first time at its international launch at Canneseries – the big-ticket drama event on the Côte d’Azur. “I loved every second… where I wasn’t on screen,” she says. “But then every time my face came on, I was like, oh, no, I was just getting into what was happening and now I have to deal with my own work.” She was, however, pleased with the results. “I love what [director Frank Van Passel] and team have done in the edit and with the sound and I think it looks incredible.
