There are excesses on all fronts: in supposedly ordinary married life and then occult happenings, intricate political skulduggery with the infamous Berlin Wall as background – they all abound in this horror-cum-political-cum-psychological tale." – Variety GET YOUR TICKETS HERE: https://possession-berlin.eventbrite.co.uk ______________________________________________________ ABOUT THE FILM "Beyond the realm of human desire, there is a darkness..."
