Nitram lives with his mother and father in a suburban Australian town in the 1990s. He lives a life of isolation and frustration at never being able to fit in—that is, until he unexpectedly finds a close friend in a reclusive heiress, Helen. When that relationship meets a tragic end, and Nitram′s loneliness and anger grow, he begins a slow descent that leads to disaster. Nitram is a psychological drama directed by Australian director Justin Kurzel based on an actual event that took place in Tasmania, Australia in 1996. Nitram premiered in competition at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. Caleb Landry Jones, who plays Nitram, won the Best Actor award for his superb performance.
