“Luz” is the directorial debut from filmmaker Tilman Singer. The horror-thriller stars Luana Velis, Jan Bluthardt, Nadja Stübiger, and Johannes Benecke.

A rainy night. A dazed and numb young cab driver, Luz, drags herself into the brightly lit entrance of a rundown police station.

Across town in a nightspot, Nora seductively engages police psychiatrist Dr. Rossini in a conversation. Nora is possessed by a demonic entity, longing for the woman it loves – Luz. She tells the Doctor about her old schoolmate Luz’s rebellious past at a Chilean school for girls. Increasingly drunk on her story, Rossini turns into an easy prey in Nora’s hands, but he’s soon called away to the police station to examine Luz.

Supervised by his colleagues, the doctor puts Luz in a state of hypnosis that initiates a series of flashbacks, unfolding the events leading to her arrival. But the entity that has taken control of the doctor wants something more. Bit by bit it slips into Luz’ reenactment and makes old memories come to light.
