Flammenmädchen

2021 · 90 min

A slow, brooding rural crime story where smoldering fires and small-town secrets keep you quietly uneasy.

Overview
First barns burn, then an old house burns. A fire brigade goes around. A corpse burned beyond recognition is found in the old house. Intention or amazing coincidence? Franzi Heilmayr and Martin Merana believe in coincidence - until the evidence suddenly points in a completely different direction. And deadly danger still emanates from there.
