Nowhere is a 2023 Spanish survival-thriller film directed by Albert Pintó, written by Ernest Riera, Miguel Ruz, Indiana Lista, Seanne Winslow, and Teresa Rosendoy, and starring Anna Castillo alongside Tamar Novas. It premiered exclusively on Netflix on September 29, 2023, and went on to become one of Netflix’s best-performing non-English films of the year.
The story follows Mía (Castillo), a pregnant woman who flees a totalitarian regime that has begun culling the elderly, the pregnant, and children amid a resource crisis. After being smuggled out of the country in a shipping container with her husband Nico (Novas), the couple is separated when a storm sends Mía’s container adrift alone at sea, forcing her to survive — and give birth — while trapped inside.
