Cate Shortland : 2017
Australian backpacker Clare is wandering through Berlin's Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg with her stills camera. She's particularly fascinated by the old GDR buildings. She meets a friendly English teacher named Andi and they hit it off immediately. He shows her the allotments and the neighbourhood, and they end up in bed together. Something that begins as a romance takes an unexpectedly sinister turn when, in the morning – Andi has left for school – Clare tries to leave the otherwise empty old building and realises that she is locked in. At first she thinks this is a mistake, but she soon realises that she is a prisoner. Cut off from the rest of the world, Clare experiences terrifying weeks during which she vacillates between yielding to Andi's obsessions and trying to escape. Cate Shortland's feature premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2017.
