  • Film Director: David Planell Serrano.
Pepe and Lucia cannot handle Manu. They have tried everything, but there´s no point: the boy they adopted one year ago is too much for them, they don´t get anywhere with him. They soon realize the price they must pay if they want to go ahead with their brazen plan.

David Planell Serrano
Director and scriptwriter, he was trained for fifteen years writing television scripts. David started directing in 2003 with the award winning short film ‘Carisma’ which was nominated for the best short film Goya awards. Five years later he made his first feature film ‘La vergüenza’ which he was nominated as Best New Director. His style is hard and direct , and his plots are rough, contrasting with the tenderness with which he treats his characters, overwhelmingly urban by unfavorable reality trying (not always successfully) to control at any cost.
