The story of Josef Brenner, a writer and doctor, is a Faust story of our times. Brenner works as a doctor in a mental clinic in the early 20th century. He has been suffering from writer's block for months, unable to put down even a single line on paper and becoming a morphine addict in the process. One day he gets a new patient, the 28-year-old Gizella. The insane woman, by contrast, keeps writing all the time; she is addicted to her own diary and is unable to put her pen down. The young woman gets increasingly overwhelmed by the obsession that a cruel alien power has possessed her. Brenner becomes jealous of the woman, who creates fanatically and brilliantly. The initial doctor-patient relationship gradually transforms: doctor and patient fall in love with each other, and sexual frenzy gets the upper hand in their relation. To make everything come true he has been incapable of so far, Brenner wants to enter into a pact with Evil through the woman�s body. Evil, however, wants Brenner for himself body and soul. The doctor has to pay a big price for this alliance. In return, Gizella asks him to cut out her brain, deliver her from Evil, and bring oblivion for her. Brenner has no choice. He must destroy Gizella: the one and only person he really loved. http://opium.film.hu Festivals: 2011 - Wroclaw New Horizons International Film Festival 2008 - Cluj-Napoca Transilvania 2008 - Madrid International Film Festival 2008 - Ourense International Independent Film Festival (in competition) 2008 - Porto FANTASPORTO (in competition) 2008 - Seattle International Film Festival 2008 - Sofia International Film Festival 2008 - Vukovar Film Festival (in competition) 2008 - Wroclaw New Horizons International Film Festival 2007 - Bratislava International Film Festival 2007 - Budapest Hungarian Film Week (in competition) 2007 - Calcutta International Film Festival 2007 - Chicago International Film Festival (in competition) 2007 - Copenhagen CPH:PIX 2007 - Cottbus FilmFestival (in competition) 2007 - Haifa International Film Festival 2007 - London Film Festival 2007 - Montreal The World Film Festival 2007 - Moscow International Film Festival (in competition) 2007 - Munich Film Festival 2007 - Palic International Film Festival (in competition) 2007 - Segovia MUCES 2007 - Seville Film Festival (in competition) 2007 - Targu-Mures AlterNative 2007 - Torún Plus Camerimage 2007 - Vlissingen Film by the Sea (in competition)
