Deutschland 2011 Spielfilm

After failing at many auditions wanna-be actress Stella surprisingly gets accepted at the "Matteusz Gdula" private school. In the shadowy halls of the old building she works hard on her skills, but her lack of talent gives her fellow students enough reasons to make fun of her.

When whispers of a secret method of acting that is not to be talked about resonate in the rooms of the school, Stella wants to find out all about it. Cecile, a charismatic girl who never seems to leave the school, tells her about Gdula, the mysterious founder, who back in the 70s invented an extreme acting method to make every actor "shine". But after students died during his sessions, Gdula committed suicide and his method was banned.

One day Cecile disappears without a trace. Strange noises come from the abandoned wing of the institute. Stella suspects that someone is still practicing Gdula’s bizarre method. And she wants to participate at all costs. Even if it may kill her …
