THE CAPTIVE TRAILER
ALEJANDRO AMENABAR'S HISTORICAL MOVIE
![]() |
The Captive is out this September in Spain |
THE FILM IS SET IN ALGIERS
in 1575 when Cervantes, a wounded 28-year-old Spanish Navy soldier, is held prisoner by Ottoman corsairs. A cruel death awaits him should his fellow countrymen
fail to pay his ransom soon; but within the confines of his cell, Cervantes discovers a surprising refuge — the art of storytelling. Crafted from resilience
and hope, his stories capture the attention of Hasan, the enigmatic and feared Bey of Algiers, igniting a secret affinity between captor and captive.
Suspicions rise amidst growing tensions in the city, and Cervantes, driven by an unwavering sense of optimism, devises a daring plan for freedom.
