Lucia (Najwa Nimri, SEX AND LUCIA) is a beautiful thief with a thuggish boyfriend, Chino (Gustavo Salmeron, TWICE UPON A YESTERDAY); together with their friend Charley (Juan Diego Botto, THE DANCER UPSTAIRS), they seek out thrills and easy money in a life of crime. Chino's cop brother Antonio (Alfredo Villa, DAGON) tries to steer him onto a more upstanding path, an attempt that Chino turns into an opportunity to betray his friends for personal gain. Noted director Daniel Calparsoro has turned in a gritty, stylish, and ironic film, whose fast-paced action is augmented by the director's deft use of the beautiful Madrid setting and his exceptionally good-looking cast.
