On Tuesday, 23 September 2025, the city of Bocholt will present the future drama "The Assessment" as part of the series "The Special Film". In a world that has been severely affected by climate change, a section of society has created a parallel world. In this world, life is rigorously monitored and optimised. No child without an assessment.
In a near future where parenthood is strictly regulated, Mia and Aaryan undergo a seven-day assessment to prove their suitability as parents. An assessor is given the task of observing the lives of the successful young couple over a period of seven days. The assessment is carried out by the enigmatic Virginia, whose unconventional methods push the couple to their limits. What begins as a hope for a family develops into a psychological nightmare that questions the foundations of their relationship and the structure of society.
The film lasts 114 minutes. The film was directed by Fleur Fortune.
Trailer and tickets are available at www.kinodrom.de
