Berlin-based sales agency Picture Tree Intl. has shared with Variety the trailer for the Austrian horror movie Smother by up-and-coming director Achmed Abdel-Salam.
The film centers on Michi, a young mother and former alcoholic. After the sudden death of her estranged father, she decides to stay in the inherited summer house for a few days with her small daughter Hanna, hoping to regain the motherly trust she lost.
“During the first night, long-repressed memories of her childhood overshadowed by her mother’s suicide start to haunt her. Trying to numb herself again with alcohol only drives her daughter Hanna further away and accelerates Michi’s paranoid state. When her demons also start to threaten her daughter, Michi must finally confront them to save her.”
The Glitter and Doom production is tentatively set for a local theatrical release in early 2023, notes the site. The film is heading to this week’s AFM in Santa Monica.
