In a small village in Bavaria in 1932, four teenagers are brutally murdered.To calm the villagers, the local council (Christian Tramitz, Sepp Schauer, Heio von Stetten, Max Schmidt, Christian Swoboda and Joachim Zons) blames the crime on a rabid wolf. After rumors grow louder that the murderer must be a human or even a werewolf, Joseph Köhler (Markus Brandl), who is known as a hermit and lives alone with his daughter Mitzi (Sophie Röhrmoser) at the edge of the forest, is arrested as the perpetrator.As he refuses to confess to the crimes, the atmosphere becomes increasingly tense until the men no longer shy away from violence. The women of the village (including Christine Neubauer, Eva Mähl and Christine Zierl) make one last desperate attempt to fight the madness that has gripped the actually sensible villagers.Inspired by one of the last surviving witch trials and set in the turbulent and dangerous times shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, "Hundswut" is a film that may be set almost 100 years ago, but is terribly timeless.The outstanding cast, including Konstantin Wecker, Annika Preil, Ferdinand Dörfler and Corinna Binzer, guarantees a first-class and intense cinematic experience that makes you think.
