That is what it is about

While his father drowns his sorrows in drink, his stepmother never misses an opportunity to torment young Xaver. Xaver’s stepsister Maria is always there to support him. But when he is also bullied by the village children, even she can no longer help. So all that remains for Xaver is a cry into the darkness, a cry of despair and a cry for vengeance… His cry is answered. Step by step, vengeance personified emerges from the woods. Unstoppable.

Our guests at the film screening

Florian Ecker

Working with regional materials while constantly evolving—that is the hallmark of Florian Ecker from Gankofen. It’s clear that the path the 30-year-old has chosen is the right one. Awards for his short films DRUD and BROTHERS demonstrate that ambition and tradition, when combined, do not stand in the way of a progressive career and mindset. Florian Ecker is one of the great hopes of German-language folk horror!
