Jakob von Gunten (Mark Rylance) is admitted to the Institute Benjamenta, a peculiar and isolated school for servants. Whilst learning the submissive art of servitude, Jakob gradually uncovers the Institute's secrets. Adapted from a novel by remarkable Swiss writer Robert Walser, Institute Benjamenta is the striking live-action feature debut off the acclaimed animators, the Quay Brothers. Their distinctive style, enriched by Nic Knowland's beautifully controlled photography and Larry Sider's exquisite soundscapes, breathes life into every aspect of this dream-like anti-fairytale.
A young man enrolls at a dilapidated boarding school for trainee servants, only to discover that all the lessons being taught are exactly the same! Over time, he becomes entangled in the strange lives of the students and headmasters alike.
British animators The Brothers Quay turn their hand to live-action for the first time, resulting in this curiously fascinating film.
