Nahir is an upcoming Argentine police drama film based on the Nahir Galarza case, and it will feature the performance and leading role of Valentina Zenere. It was confirmed through Prime Video that the film already entered the production stage in mid-2023.
Argument
The story told for this film shows Nahir from his childhood and alone until his first day in prison. The film script runs on three axes that will give the final word to the viewer: the hypothesis of Nahir as a murderer, the hypothesis of an involuntary and incited homicide and finally the hypothesis that places her father Marcelo Galarza as the executor of the crime. The film will be entirely shot in Buenos Aires, recreating the city of Gualeguaychú in duly adapted locations. As is known, this is not the only audiovisual project that will deal with the Nahir phenomenon. The production company Kapow ("Carmel: Who Killed María Marta?") has already completed the production of its docureality of two episodes of an hour and a half each that have Nahir as the central character with current testimonies recorded in prison and that will be broadcast by Telefe and Paramount. Likewise, the production companies TBS from Mexico ("Maradona") and Argentina's Pampa Films ("Monzón") are preparing a miniseries based on "Side B" of the case based on a book by the young woman's former spokesperson "El Silencio de Nahir, Crónica de a Media Lynching". In this way, the "Nahir Case" will have a film, documentary reality and series, becoming an unprecedented event from an audiovisual artistic point of view.
Premiere
The film will be released in theaters and on the Prime Video platform worldwide.
Cast
The confirmed cast for the moment were Valentina Zenere, Monica Antonópulos, Nacho Gadano and Simon Hempe.
