    • Synopsis
    • The successful author Sorel Malkow (Simone Geißler) retreats to the Lüneburg Heath to write her new novel, which is based on autobiographical, traumatic experiences, in a secluded estate. The more the novel develops, the more strange and disturbing events accumulate and it soon becomes clear that she is being stalked by a man who seems to know his way around her memories and is driving Sorel to the edge of her physical and psychological limits. Neither meeting the village mechanic Marius (Aaron Thiesse) nor a surprise visit from her friend Laura (Cosma Dujat) gives her any respite.
      As the line between reality and nightmare blurs, Sorel is faced with a decision: should she face up to the threat and take the risk of diving even deeper into the abyss of her fears?
