Nina is a gripping revenge thriller in true Almodóvar style, starring Patricia López Arnaiz, protagonist of 20,000 Species of Bees, a film that in 2023 premiered at the ASFF.
The plot follows Nina as she returns to the coastal town where she grew up, with a shotgun in her bag and one goal: to get revenge on Pedro, a famous writer who is now celebrated by the community. However, her return to her hometown, her memories, and Blas, a childhood friend, leads her to question whether revenge is truly her only option.
This dramatic thriller is an introspective journey into female empowerment, where the audience experiences Nina’s complex internal struggle firsthand. The director delivers a bold narrative, using genre cinema to craft a powerful feminist discourse on consent and justice, keeping tension and drama palpable throughout. Nina fiercely and sensitively tackles a topic of burning relevance, inviting reflection while triumphing in every aspect of its powerful story.
