THE FILM

About The Film

Step into the darkness of the often-misunderstood relationship phenomenon of narcissism and those that wield its power, and those that have survived it. We follow the lives of two survivors as they narrate their tragic experiences.

Michael, a foreigner desperate to build a new life in Germany, dreams of finding the perfect partner. His world is turned upside down when he falls deeply in love with a captivating woman, only to find out that she comes from an affluent family of narcissists – and she turns out to be one of them.

Emily, an aspiring actress dreaming of her big break in the entertainment industry, is manipulated by a famed and charismatic casting director who hides a dark secret.

At the same time, we interject real testimonies from experts in the field of narcissism to help explain to our viewing audience the complexities of narcissists and their red flags. By sharing these stories, we will bring narcissism out of the darkness and into the light.
