El Clan
Spain, 1944, a country in turmoil, times are hard.
Almost bankrupted by his late father’s gambling debts, Ricardo (Francisco Vera), is forced to scrape a living as a shoe-shine boy, in order to care for his recently widowed sister, Maria (Beatriz Rico), and to keep them in their family home. To make some additional cash, Ricardo and his life-long buddies, Antonio (Borja Elgea), Amador (Octavi Pujades) and Marcelo (Domingo de Luis) work together as a gang of “heavies”, extracting money from debtors for the town’s rich and powerful. But when an enigmatic foreigner (Carlos Lasarte) arrives in town with a mysterious package, Ricardo and his companions take the chance to better their lives forever, by accepting his lucrative offer; but to do so, they must abandon all their principles. 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.
