Intrigo: Samaria (2019)

In the quaint town of Maardam, Antwerp-based copywriter Henry Martens stumbles into a web of mystery and intrigue when he unexpectedly encounters Paula Polanski, a former student from his brief tenure as an English Literature substitute professor at City College in Kaalbringen a decade ago. Now an acclaimed documentary filmmaker, Paula has embarked on a chilling project, unearthing the shrouded past of their classmate Vera Kall, who inexplicably disappeared on the night of their graduation party, leaving behind only echoes of her enigma. Vera's tale took a sinister turn when her father, Jacob Kall, was convicted for her murder, despite her body never being found and his continued pleas of innocence from behind the cold bars of Bittinger prison. The case was built on the harrowing evidence of sustained physical abuse. Paula's quest to create a cinematic homage to Vera pulls Henry into her investigation, and as they delve deeper into the murky waters of their past, their search for the truth is stained with the shadows of well-hidden secrets, gradually surfacing in the harsh light of revelations. As Henry finds himself increasingly entangled in the documentary, he begins to question Paula's motives. Is her film a tribute to their enigmatic classmate, or a façade for ulterior intentions? And as they peel back the layers of a decade-old mystery, they are faced with a chilling question: Is the man languishing in a maximum-security prison truly responsible for Vera's untimely demise? Intrigo: Samaria is a labyrinth of secrets and lies, a haunting journey that navigates the treacherous waters of past traumas and the pursuit of truth. As the lines between innocence and guilt blur, the audience is left hanging on the precipice of a thrilling enigma, questioning whether justice was truly served or if it was a mere illusion in the face of a more sinister reality.
