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.

 
akob (Mark Rylance) wants to be of service. Admitted to a peculiar school for servants run by domineering Johannes (Gottfried John) and his sorrowful sister Lisa (Alice Krige), Jakob gradually uncovers the mystical Institute's secrets and, by extension, those of life itself. Presented in a new, director approved transfer, this striking live-action feature is an exquisitely realised anti-fairy tale, a fragile world shimmering with luminous energy and hypnotic beauty.
