Spazju Kreattiv is showing the psychological thriller Berlin Syndrome, which is adapted from Melanie Joosten’s 2011 novel of the same name and is directed by Australian director Cate Shortland.

Clare (Teresa Palmer) meets charismatic but brooding teacher Andi (Max Riemelt) while photographing East German architecture in Berlin. The instant chemistry between the two leads to a one-night stand at Andi’s apartment – but nothing can prepare Clare for what she’s about to wake up to.

With all exits in the abandoned apartment block sealed tight and no access to the outside world, Andi initiates a power game that will test Clare’s sanity, resourcefulness and wit.

The suspense heightens as Clare and Andi’s relationship dynamics shift and change within the tight confines of the apartment – a dynamic that starts with resistance, shifts to surrender and ends with defiance.

The film will be screened tomorrow at 7.30pm at St James Cavalier, Valletta. For more information or to book tickets, visit www.kreattivita.org/en/event/berlin-syndrome-2017/.
