Mute is an upcoming British science fiction mystery film directed by Duncan Jones, who also co-wrote the script with Michael Robert Johnson and Damon Peoples.

The film has been described by Jones as a "spiritual sequel" to his 2009 film Moon.[1][2]

Plot

Berlin. Forty years from today. A roiling city of immigrants, where East crashes against West. Leo Beiler, a mute bartender, has one reason and one reason only for living here, and she's disappeared. But when Leo's search takes him deeper into the city's underbelly, an odd pair of American surgeons seem to be the only recurring clue, and Leo can't tell if they can help, or who he should fear most.
