Whispers Behind the Wall



Grzegorz Muskała : 2013
Die Frau hinter der Wand

Martin leaves his protective parents' home and comes to Berlin as a law student with high hopes. Finding accommodation proves a real challenge, so he lives in his car, whilst pretending to his parents that everything is fine. He is really pleased when he gets an offer of a tiny, run-down flat in a strange, dark apartment block, from which the previous tenant has disappeared without a trace. Once Martin has moved in, he begins to find clues about the previous tenant and his relationship to the female landlord, Simone. As Martin's obsession with her life grows, he quickly falls for his mysterious neighbour, who lives just next door behind a thin wall. Hoping to find trust and intimacy, he loses himself in the house's disturbing world of sex and violence. Deep in the walls, Martin discovers the true horror of his first love. Grzegorz Muskała's dark psychological thriller premiered at Oldenburg International Film Festival 2013.
