Washington’s Wolves

Directed by Mariano Barroso

The director and lead actor of ECSTASY re-join for this (literally) dark thriller of friendship, greed, and betrayal. Alberto and Miguel are best mates who’ve opened up a bar together. But business isn’t exactly booming and they need to find a way out of the hole. Their former boss is the perfect target, and they decide to dupe him out of millions. But cross follows double cross and soon it’s difficult to decipher who’s doing whom, as other men (and a couple of women) get entangled in the increasingly violent web of deceit. Once again Barroso explores the company of men and their traditional roles in both society and cinema.
