Seventeen-year-old Gretchen thinks her father and stepmother are fools. After her mother’s death, she moves in with them at a mountain resort – a place so dull, it feels like she might die of boredom. Then again, there are other ways to die. Gretchen's monotony is soon disturbed by a mysterious woman who attacks her at night. But that’s not the only strange thing – the passage of time in the mountain town seems off, not moving in a straight line but looping and repeating… How do you stop the one who controls time itself?

“If you love horror, this might be one of the most thrilling films of the year for you. If you’re more sensitive to the genre, you’ll likely find your fingers covering your eyes, seamlessly blending into the film’s masterful cinematography. You’ll be on edge watching the eerie life of a secluded mountain town unfold, losing yourself in distorted time, sharp sound design, and the hypnotic performance of Euphoria star Hunter Schafer. You’ll whisper to the person next to you, "What is happening?" And just when you think you have it figured out, you’ll realize you don’t. Then, you’ll either thank me or curse me for recommending Cuckoo, but either way, you’ll want to talk about it.” (Programme curator Benita Paplauskaitė)
