Teaser (Feature Film Concept) | 2021–2023 | Germany
Absolution tells the story of the ancient Greek myth of Orestes, reimagined as a present-day thriller. At its center is a soldier suffering from PTSD, whose return home sets off a jarring chain of events that unearth long-buried atrocities within his own family. As past and present collide, the line between justice and revenge begins to blur.
