Blanca Romero

Manuel (Tristán Ulloa), Ana (Blanca Romero) and Julio (Guillermo Toledo), friends in their youth, met again after long time without seeing each other, going out one night where they try to avoid their common and pitiful life, using drugs, alcohol and sex.

The first feature from Spanish director Jorge Torregrossa is a stunning apocalyptic thriller set against the awe-inspiring peaks of the Pyrenees, where a group of friends find themselves at the mercy of nature -- and their own psychic demons -- after a mysterious, all-encompassing blackout.
