Ali Abbasi • 92 mins • Denmark

The Romanian Elena becomes a surrogate mother to Danish couple Kasper and Louisa who live a remote life without technology far away from the big city. As soon as Elena gets pregnant she starts feeling sick. Something evil is growing inside of her destroying everyone surrounding it.
Director Ali Abbasi has Iranian roots but has been living in Denmark for the past decade. His first feature film Shelley is a character driven, sociocritical horror story that left us astonished at the Berlin Film Festival.
