Kings fall. Realms endure.

ThrillerMysteryDrama

Manuel, a Spanish politician whose high-class lifestyle is based on nefarious and illegal business threatens to break his entire party after a newspaper exposes him to the public eye. Rather than admit to any wrongdoing, he decides to sell out his whole party in an effort to avoid jail time. It's a decision that will put many lives at risk.

VIBE

A slick, morally ambiguous thriller where political ambition curdles into desperate self-preservation. It’s a tense, cynical dive into the rot of power, where every alliance is fragile and betrayal lurks around every corner.
