Requiem

Anneliese Michel grows up in a small catholic village in Bavaria. Her parents are very religious, the family goes to church every sunday and prays before the melas and before going to sleep. We get to know Anneliese when she is 21 years old and she just got the acceptance of the university in Tübingen. Her mother doesn´t want her to go but her father supports his daughter. Annelies starts to study and enjoys her freedom. But then the the seizures start again. Voices are screaming at her, she is panicking, she has epileptic seizures. They are worse than ever before. Anneliese goes from one doctor to another but she is not paying attention to the advice to go to a psycho analyst. She is convinced that won´t help. She starts to think she is possessed by some evil power, by deamonds or devils. So she starts an Exorzismus. This movie is after a true story that happened in the 70s. The main actress Sandra Hueller is just amazing. Watch it.
