70 Big Ones

When little Alba is kidnapped, her mother Raquel has 24 hours to find €35,000 – or 70 x €500 bills, nicknamed ‘binladens’ in Spain, because no-one ever sees them. In desperation she locates a bank willing to put up the loan, but mid-transaction two robbers suddenly burst in, wanting the money for themselves. Raquel must think fast, outfox her rivals, and save her daughter’s life – no matter the price. This third full-length feature from director Koldo Serra is a pulsating watch, full of twists and turns and fabulous performances from the two female leads, Emma Suárez and Nathalie Poza.
