Synopsis

MICHAEL

Michael (Michael Fuith), a seemingly meek insurance agent, has a secret: he’s holding 10-year-old Wolfgang (David Rauchenberger) captive in a locked room in his basement. Chronicling a five month period, director Markus Schleinzer reveals a tense portrait of how seemingly mundane lives can hide the darkest secrets. MICHAEL is a masterfully executed study of a monster with rich cinematic detail and unnerving insight.

“Compelling… chilling… recalls Michael Haneke’s FUNNY GAMES” – New York Times
