As the night progresses, the deserted streets become a setting of loneliness and a growing sense of danger. When the paths of two strangers, João Correia and Pedro Passos, cross on the dark streets, the tension becomes palpable. Fear intensifies when both realize they are not alone: one is following the other, and distrust begins to emerge. What unfolds next is a tense confrontation, where fear and paranoia are at their peak. Esquinas do Medo (Corners of Fear) is an urban thriller that explores the vulnerability and psychology of a clash between two strangers, trapped in the shadows of the early hours, where the unknown is closer than you might think.
