Requiem (2006)

FROM THE LINER NOTES

Michaela has grown up in a deeply religious family, in a small town in Germany, in the 1970's. Despite her long battle with epilepsy, she leaves home and secures her first taste of freedom while studying at the university. While there, she suffers a severe breakdown. Not a normal epileptic attack, but instead, a frightening rush of grotesque faces and voices. Afraid of being sent back home to her family, Michaela seeks help from a priest who reinforces her conviction that she is possessed. These harrowing events are based on a true story which also inspired the American film, The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
