“There must be a different solution than the one from hell’. Full unadulterated terror (and music). 'The best class always ends with a lesson'.

Sewn around Schubert’s steely Opus 1, which is itself based on the no less terrifying legend of Goethe's Erlkönig, their film is a revelation.” International Film Festival Rotterdam.
