Synopsis

Woyzeck is a hapless, low-ranking soldier-alone and powerless in the tribal society around him. He earns extra money by taking part in medical experiments, but during one such experiment his mental health begins to deteriorate and he begins to experience a series of apocalyptic visions. Assaulted from all sides by forces he cannot control, Woyzeck takes matters into his own hands when he finds his wife has been sleeping with another soldier.
