Comedy

Isaki Lacuesta presents a social satire in which five common or garden citizens, from a country pretty much identical to our own, see their lives ripped apart by the economic crisis. With nothing more to lose, they come up with a crazy plan to save the Spanish and world economy: kidnap the chairman of the Central Bank and demand that he return everything to the way it used to be.

VIBE

A wild, bloody ride through economic despair. This film feels like a fever dream where societal collapse meets slapstick violence, leaving you questioning reality and laughing nervously at the sheer, unhinged absurdity of it all.
