Why we love it
Six times Oscar
nominated �lmmaker Jim Sheridan co-directs
with David Merriman a judicial drama in
which they invent a retrial of a real murder
case already sentenced. The circumstances
surrounding the trial are recreated with a
perfect and indivisible combination of reality
and �ction, to raise countless unanswered
questions. The extraordinary actress Vicky
Krieps (PHANTOM THREAD, BERGMAN
ISLAND, CORSAGE) stars alongside Colm
Meaney (LAYER CAKE, CON AIR), and Aidan
Gillen (THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, GAME OF
THRONES, BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY) in a �lm
heir to the classic 12 ANGRY MEN but with
a contemporary twist where misogynistic
opinions are not acceptable anymore.

Directed by DAVID PÉREZ SAÑUDO
Producer's previous works
Synopsis
Northern Spain, 1870s. As the country bleeds
from the wars between liberals and Carlists,
the bodies of several women are discovered
on the outskirts of Vitoria –tortured, mutilated,
and strangled. It seems to be the work of a
serial killer. The sister of one of the victims,
determined to seek justice, is convinced that
the killer is an illiterate farmer named Juan
Díaz de Garayo. Meanwhile, the head of the
local constables races against time and the
indifference of the authorities to identify the
murderer.

Why we love it
Twenty years before the existence of Jack the
Ripper, Spain documented its �rst serial killer,
known as “The Harvester”. With meticulous
production design, this thriller reconstructs
his crimes and the relentless manhunt that
followed, set in a dark and patriarchal era
where women were especially vulnerable.
Goya-winning actors Antonio de la Torre
and Patricia López Arnaiz reunite as an
exceptional lead pair after their acclaimed
work in GLIMMERS (2024). Directed by
David Pérez Sañudo (ANE) and produced by
La Claqueta (THE ENDLESS TRENCH), this
chilling tale delves into a disturbing chapter
of European history.

Synopsis
In the early 1920s, Juan Faura enlists in the Legion to �ght in the War of
Morocco. He has a single purpose: to die in combat. Things take a drastic
turn when he is assigned under the command of a ruthless sergeant
who seeks only revenge for his brother’s death in the Disaster of Annual,
and who sends his men on a suicidal mission behind enemy lines. Every
member of the platoon is killed –except Faura, who comes to learn the
value of life. Fifteen years later, Spain is plunged into a new con�ict –the
Civil War –and Faura is forced to �ght against those who were once his
comrades. But he is no longer the man he once was...

Why we love it
Gerardo Herrero produces and directs the
�lm adaptation of the acclaimed novel of the
same name by author Lorenzo Silva, winner
of the 2004 Spring Novel Prize. The story
reconstructs one of the most overlooked
chapters in Spain's recent history: the War
of Morocco in the 1920s. A specialist in the
war genre, with highly praised titles such as
COMANCHE TERRITORY, FROZEN SILENCE,
and the recent RAQQA: SPY VS. SPY, the
director brings to the screen the spiral of
chaos, violence, and absurdity that surrounds
every armed con�ict, using it as a backdrop
to deliver a deeply humanist message in one
of the least humane settings imaginable. The
�lm stands out for its outstanding production
design and meticulous location scouting,
and stars rising young talent Iván Pellicer
(known from the acclaimed series QUERER),
supported by two exceptional actors: Salva
Reina, winner of the 2025 Goya Award, and
Víctor Clavijo, a nominee for the same award.

Why we love it
A fascinating
debut as a screenwriter and director by the
prestigious acting coach Gerard Oms, starring
one of his most talented students, Mario
Casas, whose remarkable performance in four
languages earned him the Best Actor award at
the Málaga Film Festival. A Spanish-Dutch co-
production, �lmed entirely in the Netherlands,
with a naturalistic and neorealist tone that
is both a social drama about immigration
(approached from the original perspective of
a European lost within the European Union)
and an insightful portrait of a character’s
search for identity, unable to �nd his place in
the world and accept his contradictions. The
extraordinary soundtrack is by the renowned
singer and composer Sílvia Pérez Cruz, and
the editing was done by director Neus Ballús,
winner of the Silver Spike at the Valladolid
Seminci for THE ODD-JOB MEN.

Why we love it
Winner of the Out of Competition Audience
Award at the Málaga Film Festival, the latest
�lm by prestigious director Julio Medem
returns with strength and inspiration to the
two main leitmotifs of his �lmography: a love
story bigger than life that transcends time and
space, and a critical, symbolic look at recent
history. After competing in Cannes (EARTH)
and Venice (LOVERS OF THE ARCTIC
CIRCLE), and being awarded in Quinzaine
(THE RED SQUIRREL), Medem embarks on
this ambitious project, supported by the
successful production company Morena Films
(CHAMPIONS, CHE, EVERYBODY KNOWS),
and the most promising young actors of the
moment, including Javier Rey (star of the series
FARIÑA), Ana Rujas (THE MESSIAH), and the
renowned Álvaro Morte (MONEY HEIST / LA
CASA DE PAPEL, THE WHEEL OF TIME).
