🎞️ Synopsis
Just a few hours before starting his new job as a prison guard, Juan finds himself trapped in the middle of a violent riot. To survive, he pretends to be one of the inmates. Caught in an increasingly dangerous situation, he must rely on his wit and courage. A gripping, multi-award-winning thriller that explores the tension between justice, survival, and morality.
NANGUL – Produced by the students of the Mbolo-Fandema Foundation, this short film is their first collective creation as part of the Media Course. With a duration of 12 minutes, it offers beautiful cinematography and engaging performances, despite a simple plot. A promising and heartfelt debut.
Before the screening, the Alliance’s restaurant, SpiceHub, will offer a traditional dish from Spanish cuisine.
