25 Carat (25 Kilates)

Patxi Amezcúa
Spain / 2009 / 86 min. / Spanish with English subtitles

Abel is a loner whose job is collecting payments using expeditious methods. Kay is a girl who steals cars and does small-time robberies. All fed-up with the lives they lead, all hoping to do the last job, the big one. A bag full of jewels might just be what they need… Radical, modern and rigorous noir cinema; a lot of action, tension and violence are the characteristics of the acclaimed 25 Carat, the direction debut of screenwriter Patxi Amézcua (Arián’s Journey).
