“The only creature that doesn’t belong here is Man himself.” A nameless woman sojourning in a rural idyll wakes up one morning to find herself surrounded by an invisible wall – imprisoned or sheltered, according to one’s own perspective. Cut off from civilization, she must redefine herself; confront her fears in total isolation. Julian Roman Pölsler adapts Marlen Haushofer’s novel “The Wall” in a poetic rendering against a breathtaking alpine backdrop, with a remarkably versatile lead performance by Martina Gedeck.
