THE FILM KEEPS THE SPECTATOR ON THE EDGE OF THEIR SEAT
La Vanguardia Newspaper

After spending 8 years in jail for taking the fall for a failed robbery, Eric (Miquel Fernández, The End, SFF13, Family United, SFF14) returns to the outside world, determined to fly straight and reclaim the love of his life.

His two friends involved in the robbery who avoided arrest are now leading very different lives - Toni is an honest policeman and Tom the head of a criminal gang which works in collaboration with the city’s corrupt police officers. Both friends feel indebted to Eric for his 8 years of loyal silence and want to help him back on the outside, but each have very different ideas of the kind of “help” Eric needs.

Despite Eric’s desperate attempt to reinvent himself, his resolve is put to the test when his younger brother gets involved in a failed drug delivery for a powerful Russian mob-boss.

Providing a scathing glimpse into Barcelona’s underworld through nail-biting chase-scenes and dramatic confrontations, audiences will be forced to question what they would risk for their family, as Eric fights for his own.
