Thesis
CrimeHorrorMysteryThriller125 min
While researching audiovisual violence for her thesis, film student Ángela finds a videotape that appears to show a young woman being tortured to death. Ana Torrent is Ángela, and the discovery takes on a different shape when she learns the victim was once a student at her own university. As she follows the trail through screening rooms, archives, and campus hallways, Fele Martínez and Eduardo Noriega are among the faces around her. What began as academic research becomes a murder inquiry shaped by videotapes, voyeurism, and the possibility that whoever made the tape is still nearby.
