Netflix's 'Nowhere' is not based on a true story, but is inspired by similar events involving migrants' survival at sea.
The Big Picture In a world where Hollywood is at the core of mainstream film, once in a while, an international movie becomes the talk of cinema. One such is Netflix's Spanish thriller drama, Nowhere. Directed by Albert Pintó, who is best known for directing the popular TV series Money Heist, and the film Asylum: Twisted Horror and Fantasy Tales, Nowhere is a story about the grit and determination of the human spirit.
A simple storyline with a minimalist setting, director Pintó does well to keep the audience glued on the singular container set. Mia's soliloquy in the container presents depth to her character, showcasing her inner thoughts, regrets, and hope. Her dialogue with her baby immerses the viewer into her world and provides an escape from the harrowing experience that she is going through surviving the merciless sea.
But there have been successful migrant adventures like Mia's, albeit in the short term. Four Nigerian stowaways eager to escape hardships in their homeland, hoped on a cargo ship not knowing where it was going but hoping it would land in their dream destinations. They were astonished when after 14 days, they landed in Brazil, a far cry from what they were hoping for.
