Directed by acclaimed Swiss filmmaker Baran bo Odar (“The Silence,” “Who Am I,” “Sleepless”) and written by Jantje Friese, “Dark” is a drama/thriller with a supernatural twist. The story is set in the small German town of Winden, where the disappearance of yet another child sets four families on a desperate search for answers. But the search unravels the small town’s past sins and secrets.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, bo Odar said during the event that he and his collaborators “had absolute creative freedom. We could cast whoever we wanted, the actors who fit best for the role. Netflix gave us a budget and a couple of notes and let us do it.”
