A Syrian refugee tries to get a fresh start in Hamburg but instead finds himself forced into a ghastly experiment in this film premiering at the Oldenburg Film Festival.

, our protagonist — identified in the end credits only as “101” — has no idea what’s going on. He finds himself in ghastly scenes of violence and carnage, sometimes with himself holding the gun. He seems to wake up from them, only to discover he’s in some other cruel unreality. A scar on his shoulder comes and goes. A tattoo on his arm changes shape. He’s lost any sense of time, of self, of control.

And for much of that time, we’re as clueless as he is. What’s happened to him isn’t entirely a mystery; writer-director Tom Bewilogua plants clues about a-esque mind control scenario before we have so much as a chance to ask. But we’re as uncertain as he is about what’s real and what’s not, about what he’s really being used for and why.
