3096 Days
3096 Days is a 2013 German drama film directed by Sherry Hormann.

Northern Irish actress Antonia Campbell-Hughes portrays Kampusch, while Thure Lindhardt plays Přiklopil.
Plot
In the morning of 2 March 1998, 10-year-old Natascha Kampusch walks to school alone after having an argument with her mother. On her way she is dragged into a van and wakes up in a cellar. Her captor is 35-year-old technician Wolfgang Přiklopil. Despite being erratic, odd and tyrannical with Natascha, in public Wolfgang is socially awkward and very lonely, with his only contact being his mother, who occasionally comes to visit and bring meals to him. Witness descriptions of the van lead police to interrogate Wolfgang, but do not find anything suspicious.
