About At the End of the Tunnel
Joaquín is a gifted computer engineer who is confined to a wheelchair and works from his dim basement, piecing together code rather than chasing the sun. One night, unfamiliar sounds and whispered voices drift through his headphones and speakers, hinting at an imminent bank robbery nearby. As he monitors the situation from his subterranean sanctuary, the boundary between witness and suspect begins to blur. The story does not shy away from the claustrophobic feel of being trapped with only machinery and memory for company. Tension tightens as reality and illusion start to fuse, turning a routine vigil into a dangerous pursuit of truth. The film uses precise sound design and sharp editing to keep nerves jangling.
Directed by Rodrigo Grande, this Argentine crime thriller centers on a wheelchair bound engineer whose basement workspace becomes a stage for a deadly chase. Leonardo Sbaraglia stars as Joaquín, with Pablo Echarri, Clara Lago and Federico Luppi.
Critics noted the film for its lean setup and the way it probes trust under pressure. The central premise examines isolation and obsession through a man who relies on screens and audio feeds to interpret danger. Its restrained mood invites viewers to question memory, motive, and what counts as evidence.
Box office information for this title is not widely publicized, reflecting a modest release in Argentina and a handful of international markets. In festival circles it drew attention for its audacious premise and technical craft, but commercial grosses remain under the radar and are not part of the wider box office conversation.
No major awards are listed for this film in mainstream outlets, which kept the focus on its tense atmosphere, the performances of Sbaraglia and Lago, and the film's technical craft rather than trophy haul. Some regional festivals may have cited it for direction and sound.
