NATIONAL PREMIERES

Hache (Spain)

Inspired by true events, this thriller set in the 1960s tells the story of Helena (Adriana Ugarte, Julieta, The Time in Between), a prostitute who becomes a pawn in the hands of Malpica (Javier Rey, Fariña, Velvet), the head of a criminal gang operating in Barcelona.

The center of operations for Malpica and his gang, including the unstoppable Arístides (Marc Martínez, Infieles) and lawyer Julio Senovilla (Pep Ambròs, Matadero), is The Albatross Club. Managed by Celeste (Ingrid Rubio, Lifeline), the nightclub is where frequenters, from foreign visitors to city slickers, lose themselves in the music of the time.

On the right side of the law is the newly-established Narcotics squad, led by Inspector Alejandro Vinuesa (Eduardo Noriega, The Last Stand), his partner Eladio Pérez (Josep Julien, The Ministry of Time), and Commissioner Clemente Larrubia, (Álex Casanovas, Night and Day), as well as the Commissioner’s secretary Silvia Velasco (Marina Salas, The Boat).

For Helena, she goes through a steep and hazardous learning curve that takes her from the lowest rung of Malpica’s organization to the top, and seizes control of its heroin operation.

Erik Larsen (Morten Hee Andersen, Ride Upon the Storm), a young soldier, persuades Margrethe to give him a spot in the program, which includes upper-class Anna Rosenfeld (Molly Blixt Egelind, Heartless) as a student.

Even though it is intended to help combat the post-war nursing shortage in Denmark, this modern experiment of training male nurses displeases many, including the chief physician (Jens Jørn Spottag, The Legacy) and the head nurse (Anette Støvelbæk, Seaside Hotel), both old-school, who make life miserable for the young students. While Erik, Anna, and the other trainees want to make a difference, they are up against the rigid rules of the hospital, prejudices, and old conventions.

Only it brings huge consequences she hadn’t anticipated.

Although she manages to track down Lou’s location, Olivia gets caught in crossfire, is forced to give herself up, and gets thrown in jail.

Olivia struggles to survive the hostile world of prison and begins to question her own motivations. Has she become so blinded by the need for vengeance that she has done more harm than good to those around her? Faced with Etienne’s new evil schemes, she has but one possible ally left: Alexandre (Benoît Michel, Magellan), the father of her child — and Etienne’s son.
