Ever since Antoine hung a monumental portrait in his living room, his grasp on reality has been slipping, rendering him incapable of leaving his apartment. Now Antoine must confront the sinister forces lurking within the painting. “The Man Within” is the story of a possession, capturing the moment of the enactment. “The Man Within” marks Pierre de Mûelenaere and Antoine Veldekens debut as a directing duo. It is the first chapter of a larger story called “The Deep” which revolves around a series of demonic paintings.
