Thesis (Tesis)Alejandro Amenábar's (The Others, The Sea Inside) directorial debut is a mesmerising reflection of modern society's fascination with violence.

Their search becomes a terrifying journey in which the line between reality and fiction is blurred by the omnipresent eye of the camera.
Selected by Pedro Almodóvar.
Winner of 7 Goya Awards including Best Film, Best New Actor (Fele Martínez), Best New Director (Alejandro Amenábar), Best Screenplay (Alejandro Amenábar).
