Synopsis

Calvaire tells the story of Marc Stevens, a travelling singer. On his way to a Christmas performance, his van breaks down in the remote Belgian countryside, where he’s offered shelter by Bartel, a reclusive innkeeper. At first, Bartel seems hospitable, but his fragile mental state soon becomes clear. Convinced that Marc is actually his missing wife, Bartel subjects him to humiliation and psychological torment. As Marc searches for escape, he discovers the other villagers are just as unhinged, dragging him deeper into a surreal and terrifying ordeal.
