Here Now

Here Now (2024) unfolds over a single, pulse-quickening 24 hours as a chance encounter on a sun-drenched Sicilian beach spirals into a night of secrets and danger. Californian tourist Sophie (Elena Kampouris) is swept up by three charismatic young locals who promise to show her the Sicilian capital, but their easy charm masks a desperate agenda. As the group weaves through streets and seaside alleys, a looming debt forces them into a risky robbery that drags Sophie into a world she never expected.

The film balances tense, fast-moving thrills with intimate character moments, letting loyalties fray and unexpected alliances form under pressure. Strong performances from Lorenzo Richelmy, Enrico Inserra and Saul Nanni bring the three men’s conflicting motives to life, while Kampouris anchors the story as a visitor caught between curiosity and survival. Here Now is a compact, emotionally charged ride about choices made in an instant and their irreversible consequences.
