Requiem plot
"She claimed she was possessed. There was no way to know for sure."
Michaela grows up in a deeply religious family in the south of Germany. Despite her severe epilepsy, she yearns to leave her parental home and go to college. But the standards at university differ from those at home, and the freedom and friendship she encounters there makes Michaela question her faith in God, her family, and herself. Meanwhile, her seizures become more frequent and severe, although the causes are unclear. Because Michaela is afraid that she will be sent home, she decides to seek help from a priest who confirms her suspicions: She is possessed. Her new school friends try to convince her to seek psychiatric help, but they fail to get through Michaela's religious and moral beliefs, and in the end they have no choice but to leave her to her own devices.
