Unknown Origins

• Drama
• Thriller

A darkly compelling thriller set against the vibrant backdrop of Madrid, *Unknown Origins* distinguishes itself through a chillingly meta premise: a serial killer meticulously staging murders to mirror the iconic first appearances of comic book heroes. The investigation fractures a strained father-son dynamic as a world-weary inspector nearing retirement is reluctantly partnered with his traumatized colleague and his own comic-obsessed son, thrust into a case that forces them to confront their personal demons alongside a uniquely motivated killer. More than a procedural, the film explores the consuming power of fantasy and the blurred lines between escapism and reality, presenting a complex portrait of obsession not just in the perpetrator, but also in those who seek to understand him.
