Logline

The Twilight Zone is here. What’s nice can be quite dark.

Nineteen-year-old Lill has a severe allergy that prevents her from leaving her apartment. A call from her father is all the more disturbing: she must leave immediately. Someone is coming by who is out to kill her. What the father doesn’t suspect is that Lill has foreseen this in one of the mangas she’s drawn. Inspired by classic suspense stories and anthology series, this story is about encountering the evil that lurks next door.


The screening will include all episodes of the series.
