Waiting for the Barbarians
DramaHistory
At an isolated frontier outpost, a colonial magistrate suffers a crisis of conscience when an army colonel arrives looking to interrogate the locals about an impending uprising, using cruel tactics that horrify the magistrate.
VIBE
A stark, unsettling drama that feels like a slow descent into moral rot. The desert setting amplifies the oppressive atmosphere, making for a deeply uncomfortable yet thought-provoking experience about the corrupting nature of power.
