The official plot for “Cuckoo” goes as follows:
At the age of 17, Gretchen finds herself reluctantly relocating from her home in America to join her father in a resort in the German Alps, where he lives with his new family. Upon arriving at what is meant to be their new home, they are welcomed by Mr. König, her father’s employer, who shows an unsettling fascination with Gretchen’s non-verbal half-sister, Alma. The supposed serenity of their holiday haven quickly proves to be a facade. Gretchen is haunted by eerie sounds and gory hallucinations, eventually stumbling upon a dreadful revelation that has ties to her own kin.
The eerie and mysterious tone the film is reported to have only adds to its allure. A dash of confusion seems to enhance the appeal, rather than detracting from it.
