Runner

Lisa is a young 25 year old who has dreamed of cinema since she was a child. For her, the role of the runner is an important milestone: it is her arrival in the world of cinema, but also the starting point for a brilliant career. She is finally on a set, starting a relationship with Sonja, protagonist and film star. What more could you want from life? What could go wrong? But the actress has a dark past that comes back to look for her at the most unexpected moment. Accused of Sonja's murder, the girl is forced to flee. Lisa runs, runs to save her life and to find the evidence that will exonerate her and allow the real murderer to be convicted.

Directed by Nicola Barnaba, Runner leans on a strong ensemble — Matilde Gioli, Francesco Montanari, Flora Contrafatto — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2024.
