Drops of God: Based on a hit manga series, Drops of God finds the world of gastronomy and fine wine in mourning as Alexandre Léger, creator of the famous Léger Wine Guide, has just passed away at his home in Tokyo at the age of 60. When his daughter flies to Tokyo and Léger’s will is read, she discovers that her father has left her an extraordinary wine collection—but to claim the inheritance, she must compete with a brilliant young oenologist whom her father took under his wing.
You Would Do It Too: An armed robbery occurs inside a bus with a route connecting the Barcelona airport with some cities near Barcelona. The outcome? Three robbers have been killed, an arrest warrant issued for the murderer and six witnesses seem unable to identify the fugitive. Police officer Fran Garza (Pablo Molinero) and his coworker (and ex-partner) Rebeca Quirós (Ana Polvorosa) suspect that the witnesses are not telling the truth. All of them swear that they didn’t see the killer’s face, but the investigation suggests that the witnesses may have entered a “silence pact” to protect the fugitive. The case soon goes viral, with the general public immediately rallying behind the fugitive support with the hashtag: #YouWouldDoItToo.
Vanda: Inspired by the true story of Dulce Caroço, Vanda follows a hair stylist in Lisbon who, in the middle of the 2008 global financial crisis, finds herself alone, broke and with two children to raise. She embarks on a string of bank heists using a blonde wig and a toy gun and, in the process, becomes a folk hero as she keeps the public guessing what her next move will be and how long she can stay out of the police’s grasp.
