Begin Again Films presents the official trailer for ‘The applicant‘, psychological thriller about hazing in senior schools that explores the initiation into a masculine universe that glorifies command, machismo and obedience.
The story begins on Day Zero of hazing at the Tolentino University Residence. Carlos and Dani, two recently arrived students, accept the challenge in order to integrate and make friends. In the middle of a meal, the rookies are taken to Las Catacumbas, the basements of the Colegio Mayor. There they invite them to leave or stay…
A frantic 24 hours of tests, discipline, parties and alcohol await them where they will go through all kinds of emotional states. The leader of the veterans is Pepe, a cynical and classist graduate who takes advantage of his status to corrupt the rookies for fun. What begins as an exaltation of masculinity with absurd tests soon becomes a perverse spiral…
