SYNOPSIS


Extremadura, Spain, 19th century. Four children play cards in the shade of a fig tree until the arrival of Rogelio changes their lives forever. As small children, the landowner does not allow them to enjoy the countryside with stones and, as adults, he begins to use firearms.

For now, the only victim has been one of the sheep of our protagonists, but who knows if, in the future, one of them will be the victim. It's time to act, so the four friends decide to choose, by means of a card game, which of them will kill the oppressor.

Produced by Cornelius Films, Emblema Films and Magno Entertainment. With the support of the ICAA (Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts), The Junta de Extremadura and ICEC (Institut Català de les Empreses Culturals).
