The producers behind The Orphanage and expert genre director Mar Targarona (Boy Missing) bring together THE CUCKOO, a new entry in the Spanish thriller-horror canon that cleverly twists the concept of home invasion thriller to a new level. Starring raising star Belen Cuesta (Money Heist, The Endless Trench) and Jorge Suquet (Libertad), THE CUCKOO is set to be one of the most unsettling films of 2023.
This year, Marc and Ana are going to take a different kind of vacation. They’ve decided to swap houses with Hans and Olga, an older German couple who they met via a website.
At first, things seem to go smoothly. But the house swap gradually turns into a veritable nightmare for Sebas and Ana when they discover that Hans and Olga not only want to swap houses, but also their lives.
