Nero(2016)

Fire destroys everything

Nero is a tense political thriller following Alma, a Spanish journalist summoned to a remote compound by a Latin American dictator reeling from a devastating terrorist attack on his family. Stripped of her freedom and isolated from the outside world, Alma finds herself trapped in a dangerous game of power and survival. As she navigates the dictator's paranoia and the murky circumstances surrounding the attack, she must uncover the truth while protecting herself from those who would silence her. The film explores themes of corruption, manipulation, and the price of seeking truth in a world where information is weaponized. Nero examines how proximity to power can become a prison, and how a single journalist's presence might upset the fragile balance of a regime built on secrets and fear.
