Thesis

In the muted corridors of a Madrid university, Ángela pours herself into a thesis that probes the relationship between visual media and violence. The campus hums with the restless energy of students, late‑night study sessions, and the faint echo of old film reels in the audiovisual archives. Within this scholarly enclave, the film‑studied world feels both intimate and expansive, a place where the line between academic inquiry and personal obsession can blur under the weight of flickering images.

When Ángela uncovers a hidden tape that betrays the darkest side of that very subject—a recording that suggests a violent act once hidden from public view—her curiosity turns into a reluctant compulsion. The discovery pulls her deeper into the university’s shadowed history, hinting that the tragedy captured on film may involve someone who once walked the same halls she now frequents. As she begins to piece together clues, the environment shifts from a realm of thoughtful research to a landscape fraught with silent threats, where each step toward the truth feels increasingly precarious.

Her journey is marked by uneasy alliances, most notably with Chema, a fellow student whose own fascination with forbidden footage mirrors her own. Their interactions oscillate between intellectual partnership and a shared, unspoken anxiety about what might surface. The atmosphere is steeped in a gritty, almost tactile realism, balancing the cold precision of academic analysis with the unsettling pulse of a mystery that threatens to consume those who pursue it. In a city where ordinary life continues on the streets outside, Ángela finds herself navigating a labyrinth of hidden archives, whispered rumors, and a growing sense that the quest for knowledge may come at a personal cost, setting the stage for a tense, psychologically charged exploration of truth and danger.
