THE WAILING
[EL LLANTO]
Like any other college student, Andrea (Ester Expósito, ELITE) is inseparable from her cell phone. But while video chatting with her long-distance boyfriend, she discovers a terrifying presence in her apartment, one that is only visible through the camera’s lens. A frantic search through her camera roll reveals this haunting has been going on for a long time. Consumed by fear and a determination to find the origins of her curse, Andrea starts to lose her grasp on reality. With his debut film, from a script co-written by Isabel Peña (THE BEASTS), Pedro Martín-Calero goes down the rabbit hole of generational trauma, crafting a spine-chilling, decade-hopping horror film in the vein of IT FOLLOWS. The film won Best Director at the 2024 San Sebastían International Film Festival and was nominated for Best New Director at the 2025 Goya Awards.
