Atmospheric, compelling and visually breathtaking, THE UNIVERSAL THEORY is a lush cinematic mystery not to be missed.

Drawing on the cinema of masters like Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch and Fritz Lang, director Timm Kröger impeccably blends past and present, black and white, reality and the surreal, to create something utterly unique.
