Death of a Unicorn (2025)

The Death of a Unicorn (2025) is a dark and provocative fable that explores the limits of greed, ethics, and obsession with power.

Elliot (Paul Dano), an ordinary man who works for a powerful pharmaceutical company, is summoned to an emergency meeting with his ultra-wealthy boss, Victor Caldwell (Ralph Fiennes), at an isolated mansion. Along the way, he is accompanied by his teenage daughter Ridley (Saoirse Ronan), with whom he desperately tries to rebuild a relationship worn down by constant work and emotional distance.

However, what should have been a routine trip takes a surreal turn when, in the middle of a dense forest, Elliot's car accidentally collides with a unicorn. Stunned and incredulous, father and daughter soon discover that the creature's blood, body, and horn have miraculously restorative properties, capable of curing diseases and regenerating human tissue with unimaginable effectiveness.

Enchanted by the discovery, Victor Caldwell quickly sees an opportunity for unprecedented scientific and financial exploitation. Elliot is pressured to hand over the creature for experiments, while Ridley, touched by the beauty and purity of the unicorn, refuses to let it be destroyed in the name of science.

The confrontation between father and daughter intensifies, revealing profound moral dilemmas and exposing the true price of ambition. While Elliot struggles with his own principles and tries to protect Ridley, Caldwell will stop at nothing to get what he wants, putting everyone in danger.

With a tense atmosphere, brilliant performances, and a narrative that questions the limits of human ethics, The Death of a Unicorn is a psychological thriller that blends magical realism with universal ethical issues.
