Macumba

The film follows Max Taurus, an amateur detective, as he investigates the pervasive presence of crime. His journey leads him to a partially demolished house, where the remaining tenants seek pleasure and power amidst progressive decay. This setting serves as a backdrop for their struggle against conventionality.

"Macumba" features performances by Magdalena Montezuma, Heinz Emigholz, Carola Regnier, and Frank Ripploh. Its unique narrative and perspective make it a noteworthy entry in the drama genre, especially given its direction by a woman. This adds a layer of significance to the film within the context of cinema's evolution during the early 1980s.
