Helen (Claire Foy) is a young university lecturer who teaches the history of science and philosophy at Cambridge and is about to apply for a postdoctoral position in Germany. Then a phone call from her mother throws her off course: her beloved father has died unexpectedly of a heart attack. Helen reacts to his death differently from what those around her expect. She pays little attention to the funeral arrangements, instead withdrawing further and further into herself, and she hatches a plan: she wants to train a goshawk for falconry.

After the death of her father, Helen decides to train a hawk.

Auf zwei Rädern

Keenly observed and with sharp dialogue, director Eva Trobisch portrays German-German sensibilities.

Etwas ganz Besonderes

The film is set in the present, but is reminiscent of the slacker films of the 90s: mumblecore dialogue, four twenty-somethings, a McJob in the music business and a quiz night once a week. Bear is head over heels in love with Nikki but doesn’t have the guts to tell her and gives her a souvenir from a shabby esoteric shop – a “one wish willow” which grants wishes when you break it. He uses the magic on himself and wishes for Nikki to “love him more than anything else in the world.” The chemistry in the room immediately changes – not in a good way. Nikki is obsessed with Bear and becomes more and more psychotic and dangerous. Using horror film tropes but disturbingly close to everyday reality, OBSESSION is about domestic abuse, about what it feels like when the person next to you suddenly becomes dangerous, when every word or every gesture can be a trigger.  

Bear is madly in love with Nikki. With the help of a ‘One Wish Willow’, he makes a wish that Nikki will ‘love him more than anything else in the world’. Not a good idea.
