Adú

Adú Salvador Calvo

In a desperate attempt to reach Europe and crouched before an airstrip in Cameroon, a six ­year­o ld boy and his older sister wait to sneak into the holds of an airplane. Not too far away, an environmental activist contemplates the terrible image of an elephant, dead and fangless. Not only do you have to fight against poaching, but you will also have to meet the problems of your newly arrived daughter from Spain. Thousands of kilometers to the north, in Melilla, a group of civil guards prepare to face the furious crowd of sub­-Saharan people who have begun the assault on the fence. Three stories linked by a central theme, in which none of its protagonists know that their destinies are doomed to cross and that their lives will no longer be the same. 


Salvador Calvo (Madrid, 1970) is a Spanish director known for his films Adú (2020, Best Director Goya Awards 2021), Maras (2019) and 1898. Los últimos de Filipinas (2016).
