RUSSIAN DOLL X SPIDERMAN

After being sexually assaulted by a stranger, Amelie develops a superpower: the ability to detect all men with bad intentions. The daring birth of a superheroine.

With superheroes reaching peak popularity at the box office, the creator of this German series boldly reinvents the formula, combining entertainment with serious themes. Amelie, a maid in a luxury hotel, is raped by a guest at her workplace, after which she begins to perceive all sexual predators. With the help of Tristan and Johanna, she takes on the name Hysteria and is determined to bring justice and revenge to her attacker. Replace Spider-Man's spider with a traumatic event —while skillfully maintaining a well-balanced sense of humor— and you get SUPERmad, the explosive and modern story of a young woman rebelling against a toxic and cruel patriarchal society.
