55 Steps is based a the inspiring true story of Eleanor Riese, a mental illness patient herself, who brings a class action suit to give competent mental patients the right to have a say in their medication while they’re in a hospital, and Colette Hughes, the lawyer appointed to her case.
A whole village seems to hide behind a dark secret. At first glance, many abandoned and barricaded houses give the impression that life was once thriving in this small little town. A young reporter, Mara, along with her cameraman Maik, decide to visit Alt Manheim with the sole mission of finding some answers to the mysteries of what is happening in this small, once inviting town. Why are the inhabitants leaving? They encounter a few remaining residents who are willing to share with them some incredible and unbelievable stories. However, strange things begin to happen and Mara and Maik soon realize they have stumbled upon something bigger than they expected.
