REQUIEM

Stills (7)

Set in a small town in southern Germany in the 1970s, and inspired by real events. Michaela is a young woman from a strict, religious Catholic family who suffers from epilepsy. At University and making new friends and relationships she seems to be breaking away, but her condition deteriorates and she has a nervous breakdown with disturbing hallucinations. A priest she confides in reinforces her belief that she is possessed, and that and her past upbringing and beliefs lead her to seek exorcism rather the psychiatric help that her new friends urge.
