Das Treibhaus

A successful architect, driven by paranoia and a growing sense of isolation, becomes convinced that his wife and colleagues are plotting against him. As his grip on reality loosens, he retreats into a self-constructed 'greenhouse' of suspicion and delusion, leading to increasingly dangerous and desperate actions.
