Savages

2001 · 98 min Drama Romance
5.8 / 10 · TMDB

Spanish drama about anti-immigrant racism and family problems. Berta is a single nurse raising her deceased sister's three teenage children in a Spanish port city. The two boys are neo-Nazis with a flaming hatred for African immigrants, and the girl has a boyfriend who runs an underground business smuggling illegal aliens from Africa. Into this time bomb comes a cop, Eduardo, who is investigating the vicious assault of a black man. He and Berta fall for each other and make tigerish love in scenes that are much hotter than you might expect from middle-aged actors.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a tense family drama that relies on the fault lines of racism and economic anxiety in a Spanish port city. It explores how xenophobia festers in the young and complicates the lives of those trying to love them.

What lingers after the final frame is not just the social critique, but the raw, unexpected heat of a middle-aged romance that defies all surrounding chaos. A story of misplaced hatred and found passion. — MovieFinder Editorial
