Thriller, Noir, Sci-Fi. Directed by Pablo Hernando
A staging of undeniable beauty.
Visually powerful images.
Bold and original.
Pablo Hernando is one of the most unique filmmakers.
From the producers of ADVANTAGES OF TRAVELLING BY TRAIN and COLOSSAL comes a mixture of thriller, noir, sci-fi, and fantasy from an uprising director with a unique voice, Pablo Hernando. Award-winner actress Ingrid García-Jonsson (Cannes’ BEAUTIFUL YOUTH) portrays a contract killer with a special power related to a strange creature from an outer world which makes her untraceable. Award winner Ramón Barea (having worked with directors like Farhadi) plays a gangster who controls the port and has a new rival in town. Only one can survive. A WHALE will plunge us into a dark and liquid world, where the surface hides unknown mysteries. What if Nicolas Winding Refn had directed LE SAMURAI?
Ingrid is an untraceable killer whose power comes from another world, slowly making her less human. When smuggler Melville hires her to eliminate a rival businessman, he uncovers her dangerous connection to the sea and becomes obsessed with claiming her for his twisted collection.
