cassandra
special screening
Cassandra sees everything, hears everything, Cassandra is everywhere! She is the driving force behind the visionary first smart home system developed in the 1970s. However, the perfectly styled electronic household helper has been switched off for many years. When a new family moves into the empty house, it has no idea what the reawakened computer technology is capable of. Cassandra has very specific (rather old-fashioned ones) ideas about how life under one roof should work. And she is programmed to use quite drastic methods to comply with them.
Director and screenwriter Benjamin Gutsche does everything right with this mini-series produced by Rat Pack. From the superbly staged horror scenes to the impressive design of the house and the bossy robot lady – the attention to detail is impressive and the plot is told with a lightness, wit and suspense that German series rarely achieve. As a special screening in presence of the team the first two episodes will be shown exclusively in Munich and Cologne.
