Synopsis

The story takes place in northern Nicaragua, land of traditions and coffee farms. Octavio, a young student from a poor family, makes friends with Alex, the charismatic son of one of the region’s wealthiest families. Octavio’s fascination with his new friend makes him want to sideline anyone who comes between the two of them.
But Alex is in love with Esperanza, a university classmate, and to have a memory of their passion, he uses his cell phone to film them making love.
Octavio ends up with the phone and spreads the video all over town. From that moment on, nothing will be the same and the life of the two lovers will be devastated.

Questioning the role of technology in our private and public lives,THE NAKED SCREEN is a relevant portrait of modern day intimacy. When Alex videotapes his girlfriend, Esperanza, as they are making love, an undeniable sense of unease pervades the scene. Feeling exposed by the private images captured on her boyfriend’s phone, Esperanza calls Alex to plead with him to delete the video; however, his phone has been lost. Alex and Esperanza’s worst nightmare comes true as the video anonymously appears online. The entire community suddenly becomes involved, including Alex’s best friend Octavio and each of their scrupulous mothers. The film effortlessly blends multiple well-developed characters with fantastic acting, to explore the intense human emotions that are mediated via screens as they leave private spaces and enter the public.
