Black Box

A film by Aslı Özge. In German.

During an emergency, the residents of an apartment building in Berlin drop all pretense of human decency.

Due to an unexplained incident outside an apartment building in Berlin, the police block the entrances to the courtyard, and a tense situation ensues. Uncertainty among the residents fuels fears. Suspicion and panic spread; prejudice leads to polarization. The courtyard is a microcosm, with relationships based on power and profit. Perhaps the real danger is not from outside, but from within.
