THE GOOD BOY
Directed by Daniel Cebrián
Meet Angel -- twenty years old and barely employed, a guy of few friends and a not-too-promising boxing career. Angel and his mother scrape out a living in Madrid. Enter Vidal, a professional bank robber and a real charmer, just back from Argentina. A former boxer himself, with past ties to Angel’s mother and Angel’s deceased father, he offers Angel a way out of his dead-end life. Along the way, Angel will have to decide who he truly wants to be and more importantly, what he’s willing to give up.
