INFO: Director Taratoa Stappard presents his film on April 25 in Munich.
In the mid-19th century, young Māori Mary travels from New Zealand to England to investigate her family. Shortly after her arrival, she is plagued by bloody visions of violent events. But the horror is not limited to her imagination. Something very real is hidden in the gloomy estate with its dark corners and numerous hiding places.
Director and screenwriter Taratoa Stappard's feature film debut MĀRAMA combines a multi-layered story with atmospherically charged images in haunting shots. He skillfully interweaves England's colonial history with New Zealand's Māori culture to create a horror tale deeply rooted in gothic horror, which simultaneously subtly turns the tension screw and yet impresses with violent peaks of violence.
