Frank is an ambitious and single-minded medical student who has no friends. His finals are only a few days away and nothing must distract him. Nothing, especially not Lotte, the girl who has just moved into the flat above. Lotte tries to make friends with Frank. But he sees her only as an irritation, especially as the noise from the couple’s lovemaking keeps him awake at night. Finally sleeplessness makes him lose control. One day Frank is mysteriously attacked in the corridor of his building. Lotte helps him and the circumstances bring them closer. Their new friendship will not be without consequences. Lotte’s boyfriend suspects they are having an affair. When he starts persecuting Frank, he finds himself caught in a cat and mouse game in which his life is at stake. Corridor is a frightening psychological thriller with a different kind of hero and a mix of black humor and social criticism made by Johan Storm and Johan Lundborg, young Swedish directors who claim to be inspired by Hollywood 70s films such as The Exorcist, Rosemary’s baby and Alien etc.
