The Free Will
Directed by Matthias Glasner
Produced by Colonia Media, ARD
A dark psychological study of a violent offender's reintegration into society, exploring whether redemption is possible or merely a fragile facade masking irredeemable rage.
After nine years in psychiatric detention Theo, who has brutally assaulted and raped three women, is released. Living in a supervised community, he connects well with his social worker Sascha, finds a job at a print shop and even a girlfriend, Nettie, his principal's brittle and estranged daughter. But even though superficially everything seems to work out Theo's seething rage remains ready to erupt.
