Regional vice secretary Manuel Lo´pez-Vidal is a political up-and-comer in Spain who seems destined for great things. But when a member of his party’s inner circle becomes an informant and exposes long-standing corruption and fraud, Lo´pez-Vidal’s life comes crashing down. Loyal allies protect their own self-interests and turn their backs on the once-respected leader as he absorbs the brunt of the criminal accusations and loses everything he cherishes, including his wife, Ine´s, and teenage daughter, Nati. As his trial looms and the walls start closing in, Lo´pez-Vidal becomes increasingly desperate to bring the rest of his colleagues down. Yet his reckless behavior illustrates the high cost of both maintaining the status quo and exacting revenge on perceived enemies. THE REALM is a tense, mesmerizing political thriller, illuminating the dangers of mixing excessive hubris with unchecked power and underscoring how a lack of self-awareness can backfire in spectacular ways. (In Spanish with subtitles) —A.Z.
