ESP | 2021 | dir. Toño López, with Miguel de Lira, Xosé A. Touriñán, Federico Pérez Rey | UK Premiere
Brothers-in-law Eduardo and Sabonis are married to sisters Cuca and Peque. Their business acumen is appalling and they find themselves in need of money – a lot of money. Sabonis, in a fit of rage, improvises a plan that he assumes will fix all their problems: they kidnap Modesto, the brother-in-law to a corrupted and unscrupulous business woman, Alicia – incidentally the one that screwed them over in the first place. However Alicia seems to have no intention of paying any ransom to rescue her brother-in-law’s life. Toño López’s opera prima, co-written with Araceli Gonda (Jorge Coira’s 18 comidas), is a straightforward comedy full of great moments as well as Ribeiro wine and great Galician food.
