Theo, a rapist, is released after 9 years from a psychiatric hospital’s prison. His fear of women and unfulfilled desire turns normal life into a nightmare. Nettie, 27, finally frees herself from her father and his mental abuse. When they fall in love, a journey to the limits of free will begins.

An odyssey following a love story between an unlikely pair, The Free Will does not look to condemn but instead reveal the vicious, lasting consequences of psychological damage on two individuals. A brutal, uncompromising film, this Berlinale prizewinner is an unflinching portrait of two lost souls.
