Plots(1)
After a party, nineteen-year-old Brad is the victim of a brutal attack. The perpetrators flee and Brad's wounds slowly heal. A few months later, he enrols at university and, following his older brother's recommendation, applies to become a member of the elite student fraternity Phi Sigma Mu where he again encounters grievous physical and psychological violence. The fraternity pledging, or so-called 'week of hell', consists of an endless series of humiliations by older students, including degradations, insults and beatings. Brad and his room-mate endure torture-like situations. They are prepared to do whatever supposedly has to be done to become a man. (Berlinale)
