25 Kilates [DVD]

25 KILATES, the debut feature by Navarrese director Patxi Amezcua, has won the awards for Best Film and Best Director in the first edition of the Alcoy CINEVANGUARDIA Film Festival, a festival that promotes films made by new directors in order to publicize the new and emerging Spanish cinema. 25 KILATES begins with this a new stage of participation in various festivals, prior to its commercial premiere on April 24, highlighting its participation in the Nantes Spanish Film Festival or the Catalan Film Festival from Guadalajara (Mexico). The big city, the perfect habitat for hustlers, scammers, thieves, thugs, gangsters and corrupt police. Abel (Francesc Garrido) is a lonely guy who is dedicated to collecting debts from defaulters by expeditious methods. Kay (Aïda Folch), a young girl who dedicates herself to stealing cars and beating people up. His father, Sebas (Manuel Morón), a perista always in trouble, always in debt, always scamming some to settle accounts with others. Garro (Joan Massotkleiner), an inspector of the anti-robbery brigade of dubious honesty. Some Kosovar robbers. Some Mexican thugs. A Turkish hitman... A diverse fauna of criminals in the concrete jungle that is the big city... All fed up with the life they lead. Everyone wanting to take the last blow, the big blow... A bag full of jewels could be the solution.
