Express Kidnapping
Directed by Tata Amaral
A claustrophobic, high-stakes thriller about a kidnapping that spirals into an all-night ordeal, driven by mounting tension and the psychological pressure of captivity.
Sao Paulo, Brazil. Isabel, a 25-year-old girl, is kidnapped. The first ATM the criminals try to withdraw money from is broken. It's almost 10:00pm. The kidnappers realize they will not be able to get to the next one on time. What was meant to be an express kidnapping becomes an all-night imprisonment.
