Description:

In this gripping period drama, we follow Franz Woyzeck, a soldier struggling with his duties, personal life, and societal expectations. Caught in an illicit affair with Marie, he seeks additional income by working odd jobs around their small town and even participating in bizarre experiments orchestrated by a local doctor. Consumed by paranoia after being fed nothing but peas as part of the experiment, Woyzeck's already fragile mental state deteriorates further upon discovering Marie's infidelity with the town's drum major. As tensions rise and reality becomes unhinged, Woyzeck is pushed to breaking point and lashes out in a harrowing act of retribution. This intense exploration of love, betrayal, and the human psyche delivers a poignant commentary on the consequences of societal norms and individual actions.
