Germany 2029: the well-known journalist Johann Hellström escaped to his remote smarthome after serious accusations by the right-wing populist government. But that’s where the real nightmare begins. While Hellström clings to the hope of proving his innocence from his exile, the smarthome increasingly transforms from a peaceful refuge into a dangerous enemy…
THE HOUSE by director Rick Ostermann (WOLF CHILDREN) is an oppressive AI thriller of the near future. A gripping chamber play with award winning Tobias Moretti in the leading role, which cleverly combines sci-fi and horror elements with social criticism and strikingly realistic future scenarios.
