Miriam (1969)
Daniel Schmid's actual first feature, made during his (later abandoned) studies at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (DFFB), is an attempt at an unusual horror film: A little girl asks an older lady to buy her a cinema ticket. They discover that their names are both Miriam. The precocious girl forces her way into the lady's flat at night and demands a snack and presents. When the impudent child wants to move in with her the next day, the lady asks her neighbors for help.
