Trailer

A drama focused on five months in the life of pedophile who keeps a 10-year-old boy locked in his basement. As director put it: “In the work on Michael I was concerned on the one hand with narrative content (...). On the other hand, and this was paramount to me, with the ways and means by which one can tell such a story. It’s a film about a perpetrator. And I to report from his own world and his way of seeing. In Michael I have deliberately prevented any judgemental or explicatory morals from appearing. So there is just the man and the child and their interactions. I wanted to create something you must expose yourself to. Where everyone has to see what it is, and what it does to me. And look at precisely these feelings. I think that helps a society or all of us to get on and progress. A society can only develop to the same extent that it is able to get to grips with its offenders.”
