In the gritty backstreets of 1980s Barcelona, a legend is born from desperation. This raw crime drama from 1985 chronicles the rise of a real-life folk antihero, a young delinquent whose audacious escapes from the authorities captured a nation's uneasy fascination. More than just a chronicle of thefts and prison breaks, the film paints a stark portrait of a fractured society, where poverty and rebellion collide. We follow his reckless path not with glamour, but with a tense, grounded realism that examines the thin line between celebrity and criminal. A gripping slice of Spanish social history, it's a story etched in concrete and shadow.
