Requiem
She claimed she was possessed. There was no way to know for sure.
Directed by Hans-Christian Schmid
Produced by 23/5 Filmproduktion, SWR
A haunting, ambiguous psychological drama that blurs the line between mental illness and spiritual crisis, anchored in a young woman's descent into paranoia and delusion.
Michaela, an epileptic, enrolls in college to study education. She goes off her medication and soon begins hearing voices and seeing apparitions that tell her to avoid religious objects, although she is devoutly Roman Catholic. One priest scoffs at the idea that Michaela could be possessed by demons, but a younger pastor arranges an exorcism for the young woman.
