The second episode tells about a powerful ‘if-only’ scenario in which a young deaf-mute couple is attacked by a group of hooligans. However, they are in possession of a mysterious talisman that could help them …
In the last episode, a man stumbles upon a secret sex club that promises the ultimate sexual experience by using a drug made from the roots of the legendary Mandragora plant. The ecstatic experiences have horrific side effects …
Reviews:
“All in all, German Angst mostly works well, both as a set of individual episodes and as a whole film. You will need a tough stomach though, some patience, and possibly a thick skin as well. Rotterdam audiences awarded the film a 3.5 out of 5, and that’s quite a respectable score for a film this gory and divisive.” Ard Vijn, Twitch Film
