Evil turns up from nowhere. Its name: Borgman. An unkempt, bearded forest man, flushed out of his hole by hunters, who escapes and seeks refuge in a suburban family. Once their uninvited guest is ensconced in the garden shed, the family's peaceful life is at an end. Borgman is a devil looking for trouble. He provokes, schemes and manipulates. From behind the immaculate facade of his hosts, he brings out what has long been suppressed: sexual desires, violence, hatred. And he is not alone. His accomplices are only a text message away. Borgman is a radical, deeply disturbing attack on the bourgeoisie.Supported by
