Tyrannis

An apparently halfway normal family of three generations to live with: father, mother, their mother, and two quite grown-up children share a well-equipped and structured apartment. The living room has a dining table, sitting area and sofa, built a little further into the depths of the squat. There is also a cellar.

Directed by Ersan Mondtag, Tyrannis leans on a strong ensemble — Sabrina Ceesay, Kate Strong, Jonas Grundner-Culemann, — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2015.
