Domènec de Guzmán

Two young friends, urban out-of-a-job types, work out, along with a mate -a professional pusher- a way to get out of the misery they are living in: kidnap the rich guy of the town.

Late 1800s. The arrival of the railroad to an isolated town brings the long-awaited progress, but also Oleguer, a dark loan shark with shady dealings. When he seizes and stays at Cileta and her family's farmhouse, the young peasant will do anything possible to get her house back. Even if that means following in the dark footsteps of the money-lender.

Victoria awakens with a broken arm in a country house after being kidnapped. A doctor and nun care for her, but as she gradually uncovers their secrets, she realizes things aren't what they seem.

Virginia, a girl disappointed several failed romantic relationships, decides to become a single mother and sets out to find the ideal man to become the father of her child. In their research will have to decide between three candidates: Gabriel, a low hours bohemian writer and former high school teammate, Miguel, his new boss in a company where she works, and Daniel, the husband of her best friend.

This film evokes Valencia illegal gaming back in the seventies. A young peasant -Ferran- plays cards not much to make a living but as a distraction of his daily routine. Ferran meets a larger-than-life character -el chino- who happens to play cards for a living. This other guy is depicted as a Toni Manero look alike but his charisma an arrogance lead the innocent Ferran to join him in his schemes to make money to end up betting all on the next card table. At some point the action moves to Madrid and Ferran steps down losing track of El chino who takes on more dangerous games making a living out of Russian Roulette until the round gets loaded. Based on real events this is no Hollywood epic but it captures the desperation of the characters very effectively.
