Chilean taxi driver Luz finds herself haunted by her past when she picks up Nora, an ex-schoolmate, at the airport of the German city where she works. Their sudden reunion prompts the resurrection of a creature that has longed for Luz since her schooling days; it takes Nora as a medium and goes after Luz. Jumping out of her moving cab to escape, Luz stumbles into a police station in a trance, puzzling officers Bertillion and Olarte. The duo brings in a psychotherapist to hypnotize Luz, who then reveals the disturbing happenings of the night.
What started as director Tilman Singer’s thesis film has turned into a festival gem, stunning audiences with its nostalgic cinematography and its experimentations in narrative chronology and sound design. This mindbender will provide new meaning to the concept of a ‘possessive relationship’.
