Lukas Valenta Rinner
Paul's 18th birthday takes a dark turn when a vase shatters on his forehead, leaving him unconscious. Forced by his grandmother, he joins an exclusive and secretive fraternity in a lavish villa. The initiation involves burning his clothes and immersing him in a cult-like society with unique rules and rituals. Initially a harmless boot camp, it transforms into a violent competition based on 19th-century German dueling traditions. Nightly events become increasingly extreme, pushing the boys to moral extremes for survival.
