Lothar Schramm is a simple man with complex problems, yet he seems like such a nice guy. He works as a taxi driver and lives by himself where he is happy to answer his door to strangers and kill them outright. As with many shy loner types he has a problem dealing with woman so he drugs them and photographs their nude bodies for sexual stimulation. He then murders his helpless victims and so goes the life of a deranged serial killer. Today I am dirty, but tomorrow I’ll be just dirt. - Carl Panzram
Lothar Schramm is dying, face down in a pool of blood. Behind his closed eyes, fractured memories repeat themselves again and again. He runs by the sea.

Revealed in a series of tightly constructed flashbacks, the film offers an unflinching look into the mind of a serial killer. Uncompromising in its depictions of violence and perversion, SCHRAMM is a poetic masterpiece guaranteed to make you squirm. Not rated
