info@grismedio.es A Sad and Vulgar Loner explores what happens when an abusive man speaks out, actively positioning himself as a critic of violence. Without excusing his acts, the film creates a space in which the abuser has a voice. In this way the film brings a new perspective on violence and abuse with a focus on the breaking of violent cycles and the urgent need for a healing process in society.

alexandre.bas@newcoav.com Victoria, a journalist who has written a highly controversial book on motherhood, wakes up in a house with no memory. Ángel, the doctor who takes care of her, tells her that she has had a car accident, in which his daughter died, whom she never wanted to have. The presence of a pregnant woman will help her discover the truth: Angel is actually a religious fanatic who wants to teach her a lesson. Victoria is kidnapped.
