Danger lurks those who open the secret doors of Apartment Zero.

ThrillerDrama

In a rundown area of Buenos Aires, at the dawn of the 1980s, Adrian LeDuc owns both a struggling movie theater and a shabby apartment building filled with eccentric, squabbling tenants. To make ends meet, Adrian takes in a roommate, Jack Carney, but soon begins to suspect that the quiet American is responsible for a series of political assassinations that are rocking the city.

VIBE

A suffocating Buenos Aires thriller where paranoia festers in cramped spaces. The film feels like a slow descent into distrust, exploring the unsettling intimacy of cohabitation against a backdrop of political unease and cinematic longing.
