The Zero Theorem
ComedyDramaFantasyMysterySci-Fi107 min
In a wired, overcrowded future, reclusive computer genius Qohen Leth spends his days waiting for a phone call that he believes will explain his life. Instead, he is assigned a crushing task: solve the “Zero Theorem,” a formula meant to prove whether existence has any meaning at all. Working alone inside a ruined chapel he calls home, Qohen tries to shut out the noise of a world built on nonstop surveillance, advertising, and intrusion. But his isolation keeps breaking open—through visits from a mysterious woman, interference from his employers, and the growing sense that the equation consuming him may erase the answer he wants. Christoph Waltz anchors Qohen’s unraveling.
