Synopsis

Two American strangers are about to join up for a life-or-death mission - but not through choice. #1 (Hus Miller) and #2 (Cam McHarg) have both just woken up in Senegal with bombs strapped to their chests and a timer set to blow up 10 hours later. Their only hope is to follow directions given to them over the phone by a mysterious voice (Willem Dafoe) that sends them on a twisted and dangerous clue-solving hunt across Dakar.

 

Jean Luc Herbulot (Saloum) mixes sharp scrutiny of geopolitics with white-knuckle thrills to exhilarating effect as the pair face a race against time. Zero premiered at Sitges Film Festival where it won the Orbita Award and was an official selection at Beyond Fest and Glasgow Film Festival.
