The heroes of evil

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

Synopsis: Esteban, Sarita and Aritz are known by a common denominator for all three: they are young and they are marginalized. Soon a friendship arises between them surrounded by violence, alcohol and drugs. This spiral causes the three 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 they are all pushed beyond those limits.
