True Demon

True Demon

21-year-old Anna learns that her mother did not, as her father always claimed, die when she was born. In search of the truth she sets off on a road trip through Scandinavia that step by step turns into a horror trip. The mystery horror series was made for funk and WDR and launched in 2019 as a web series on YouTube; in 2021 a newly edited, extended version followed for the ARD Mediathek.
