Paco Bas

En 1936, le déclenchement de la guerre civile espagnole oblige Maria, une bonne soeur, à quitter son couvent. Elle trouve refuge dans un bordel, où elle fait connaissance avec un groupe de femmes anarchistes qui luttent contre le régime franquiste, mais aussi, plus généralement contre l'ordre établi.

Miguel Hermoso's Like Lightning offers a fresh take on a familiar scenario, the teenaged boy searching for his unknown father. Pablo is a typical teen, with a fondness for football and sneaking beers with his buddies. He enjoys a comfortable upper-middle class life with his mother (Assumpta Serna), a successful lawyer and former feminist rabble-rouser, but has a gaping hole at the core of his identity: he has no idea who his father is. Preoccupied with the question to the point of obsession, he sets out in search of answers, and finds himself on a trail that leads to the Canary Islands.
