Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Spain, 1944, a country in turmoil, times are hard. Almost bankrupted by his late father's gambling debts, Ricardo, is forced to scrape a living as a shoe-shine boy, in order to care for his recently widowed sister and to keep them in their family home. Ricardo and his life-long buddies work together as a gang, extracting money from debtors for the town's rich and powerful. When the code of loyalty, that has bonded the four friends for so long, is tested to the limit, it takes them on a terrifying journey into an increasing spiral of violence. Written by Pedro J.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Composer Diego Navarro only had forty days to score the movie. Some back and forth in the editing room caused that cues previously approved by director Jaime Falero had to be re-written and re-orchestrated. The score was recorded by the prestigious Tenerife Symphony Orchestra. See more » |
