Director of Photography is Jakub Bejnarowicz ("We Children from Bahnhof Zoo").

Markus Zimmer, Producer:
"I am very pleased that this unusual horror film has been created by Bavaria Fiction together with Netflix. ‘The Privilege’ impressively stages and highlights many of the fears adolescents universally share – particularly those of feeling alienated and misunderstood. Evil lurks everywhere – even where we least suspect it."
In "The Privilege", 18-year-old Finn (Max Schimmelpfennig) suspects that a curse is haunting his surroundings after a series of inexplicable events. And indeed, the façade of his wealthy family soon begins to crumble.
