+Q&A with director Natalia Sinelnikova

Highly selective and sought after, a German apartment complex purports to offer its lucky residents a perfectly holistic living experience. But when a tenant’s dog mysteriously disappears and Iris, the daughter of Jewish security guard Anna, starts believing she is demon-possessed, the idyllic neighbourly atmosphere soon turns into collective paranoia. Natalia Sinelnikova’s brilliant directorial debut is a witty, Orwellian socio-political satire.

“Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Natalia Sinelnikova’s assured debut – which features a magnetic central performance by Romanian actress Ioana Iacob – is that it’s her Babelsberg Film University graduation project” – Screen Daily
