Los héroes del mal

Zoe Berriatúa's feature debut had no thematic contemplations. Her film delves into the stark and violent story of three young people who have been bullied and are ready to take revenge. The ability of this director to handle the camera in impeccable settings and to assume the narrative rhythm as a characteristic of his cinema find in this film the culmination of a solvent period as a short filmmaker. His second film, En las estrellas (2018), although in other generic spheres, persists in his refined and effective style.

Synopsis: Esteban, Sarita and Aritz meet because of a common denominator for all three: they are young and they are outcasts. Soon a friendship arises between them surrounded by violence, alcohol and drugs. This spiral causes the three of them to consider their lives as revenge towards everyone who humiliated them in one way or another. But the limits of violence are exceeded by Aritz, which will make Esteban and Sarita question what is happening to them... until taking them all beyond those limits.
