(The article continues below - Commercial information) This new drama, penned by the director himself, revolves around a wealthy, cosmopolitan family from an unnamed German city – probably Berlin – headed by parents Nina ( Sabine Timoteo) and Jan ( Jule Hermann) and her younger brother Max ( Wanja Valentin Kube), the owner of a small pet rat called Zorro. In the first few scenes, we see the family getting ready to spend a weekend in their holiday home, when their getaway is suddenly interrupted by a burglary, after which Zorro mysteriously disappears. From the very beginning, both the actors’ performances and the gloomy visual atmosphere instil in the viewer the feeling that something very wrong is going to happen imminently and that the protagonists have a wealth of secrets to hide. Except for the sudden burglary – which we don’t see happening on screen, but which we do hear through Nina’s screams and someone’s footsteps – the first third of the film plods along with a very slow narrative (and performative) pace.
