Everything seems to be going right for
Julius Morlang (
Paul Freeman, best-known as the villainous
Rene Belloq in
Raiders of the Lost Ark). He lives with his beautiful young girlfriend,
Ann (
Susan Lynch of
From Hell), in a lovely cliffside home on the Pacific coast of Ireland. His once-stagnant art career is undergoing a resurgence and his agent (
Eric van der Donk) tells him, "You seem a little happier. It's in your work." But things begin to fall apart when someone breaks into his home and ransacks it, leaving a cryptic message. Through flashbacks the audience discovers the truth about the death of
Ellen (
Diana Kent),
Julius' wife of 15 years.
Julius soon finds his new life with
Ann threatened by a malevolent figure from his past. The basic premise of
Morlang,
Tjebbo Penning's directorial debut feature, was inspired by a television news story.
Penning's film won awards for Best Lead Actor (
Freeman) and Best First Film at
the 2001 Cairo International Film Festival. It was also shown in competition at
the 2002 Tribeca Film Festival.
