Der Bunker is a 2015 award-winning feature film by Nikias Chryssos. The film premiered on February 7, 2015, at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Plot
A young student (Pit Bukowski) seeks quiet and solitude to focus on an important work but ends up as the teacher of a peculiar boy (Daniel Fripan) who is home-schooled by his parents (Oona von Maydell and David Scheller) in an isolated bunker mansion.
Reception
The film received generally positive reviews.
The Bunker (Der Bunker) is the eccentric and idiosyncratic first feature from Greek-German director Nikias Chryssos. A dark fairy tale of sorts with everything from darkly throbbing Lynchian undercurrents, outré touches of sci-fi and more than a soupçon of camp a la John Waters. Even as the film jolts from one surprise to the next, Chryssos impresses with his steady command of especially the mise-en-scène, as he’s always clearly aware where to put the camera so he can get the most out of each shot. And the way in which he and editor Carsten Eder rely on cuts to heighten the drama and amplify the many chuckle-inducing instances of comedy or general weirdness also feels self-assured throughout.
This dark comedy about growing up and education contains some scenes that will remain in the annals of cinema. The film is flawless from start to finish.
