The Universal Theory at GFT
20 – 30 December, 2024
1962. Against the towering landscape of the post-war Swiss Alps, a gifted young physicist meets an elusive pianist – one who knows things about him that he’s never told another living soul. Before he knows it, his curiosity traps him inside a mind-bending metaphysical web of murder and mystery.

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. Ambitious, compelling and visually breathtaking, The Universal Theory is a lush
cinematic mystery not to be missed.
German, Italian, Swiss German, French and English with English subtitles.
