A succession of games between victims and perpetrators - and between auteur and spectator - this film by Michael Haneke begins with Anna (Susanne Lothar), Georg (Ulrich Muehe), and their son Georgia play a guessing game en route to their lakeside vacation home. But a soporific rural escape rapidly turns into a home-invasion nightmare as Paul (Arno Frisch) and Petr (Frank Giering) break into their house, claiming to be neighbors' relative. The serial-killer duo inexplicably imprison this upper class Austrian family, irrationally switching from physical assaults to moments of emotional harassment and vicious psychological tortures.
