Brick will be available on Netflix from July 10, 2025.
Synopsis: Tim and Olivia live in a seemingly ordinary apartment building when, one morning, they discover that a brick wall has been erected around the building overnight. No way out, no explanation. Along with the other residents, they'll have to join forces to face the fear, conflict and mystery that are building up, as tension mounts inside and the outside world seems to have become inaccessible to them.
Brick follows in the footsteps of psychological thrillers such as Cube or Vivarium, exploiting the theme of confinement and collective paranoia. The wall surrounding the building acts as a metaphor for social isolation and invisible control, while the characters must confront their most primal instincts. The German urban setting reinforces the sense of realism and urgency.
The film stars Matthias Schweighöfer, already known for his roles in Army of Thieves and You Are Wanted, accompanied by Ruby O. Fee and Frederick Lau. Director Philip Koch, whose work includes the Tribes of Europa series, has created a thriller rooted in contemporary reality, with a tense mise-en-scène and characters confronted by the absolute unknown.
