Haunted Minds

Haunted Minds follows Skender, a homeless veteran shaped by years of war and trauma. When a sergeant offers a brutal deal, Skender becomes the target of a month of pursuit for cash prize. If he survives the chase, the money is his; if he dies, it will go to the family he estranged. The plan to stage the pursuit overseas six months from now forces him to confront memories and the ethics of those who profit from his suffering. The story frames his choices as fits and missteps that could push him over a line he swore he would never cross. The tension comes from the hunt and the weight of memories and the cost to those who exploit suffering.

Haunted Minds, released in 2025, is directed by Lucas Belvaux and Fanny Burdino. It stars Niels Schneider, Ramzy Bedia, Linh-Dan Pham and Déborah François in a stark drama about survival and trust. The production emphasizes performances and European scenery.
