Emma Watson in "Colonia" movie finds herself caught in serious political trouble and attempts to save her beau by joining a mysterious cult. Oscar-winning director Florian Gallenberger's latest political-drama thriller pairs "The Bling Ring" actress with Daniel Bruhl in a film based on a true story.

According to Deadline, Emma Watson in "Colonia" movie has recently finished filming in Luxembourg and will now be moving to Germany. The film, which takes place in 1973, is scheduled to wrap up shooting in the latter part of this year somewhere in South America.

Emma Watson in "Colonia" movie plays the role of Lena. Based on the account of The Hollywood Reporter, she is the other half of a German couple who are entwined in a political turmoil during the onset of the Chilean military coup.

Matters took a dangerous turn for the sweethearts after the day the secret police working under then-army-chief Augusto Pinochet suddenly abducted Daniel (Daniel Bruhl). Desperate to save her beau's life, Lena tracks him down and finds him detained in an isolated commune called Colonia Dignidad.

To the rest of the world, the place serves as headquarters to a missionary cult overseen by a lay preacher played by Michael Nyqvist, reported Deadline. However, this is only a front to avoid detection and unwanted public attention, as the place is actually a secret detention and torture facility.

In a perilous bid to save her Daniel's life, Emma Watson in "Colonia" movie came up with the ruse of joining the cult. As Lena, she had to crack the secrets of the commune to find him and save his life - and given the notorious secrets of the center, she risks her life in the attempt.

As of this writing, the producers have not yet made mention any release date for "Colonia." Viewers would have to wait until the film finishes shooting by the end of this year to get more details about the film.
