The Visit

A fierce comedy about getting rich and getting even. When Claire was a girl, she was driven out of the prosperous town of Güllen in disgrace. Now a fabulously wealthy woman, she pays a surprise visit to her hometown, which has fallen on hard times. The town fathers desperately court her, hoping for financial rescue. But are they willing to meet her only — and horrifying — condition? Morality wrestles with necessity and the unrelenting urge for vengeance.
