CINEMA

A totalitarian regime, The Eye, runs the city of Gabhán. Shut off from the world by a soaring wall it has a brutal and militaristic police force.

Trapped inside, the population exists in poverty – condemned to live with starvation, ill health and constant danger. Alba is a member of an underground network that distributes food, medicine, and water to the most deprived. Desperate to get Alba to safety, Lucre lies to Alba about her safety and need to escape. Unsuspecting, Alba embarks on a journey that changes her life forever.

Set in a fictional Latin American city, this dystopian nightmare feels like an all-too-real humanitarian crisis. Although it’s a sci-fi thriller, it doesn’t always feel very fictional given the state of the world.
