Lo carga el diablo
Guillermo Polo

 - 2024
Tristán is a frustrated writer who lives by writing the inspiring phrases on the sugar sachets. His routine life changes when he agrees, under mysterious circumstances, to drive the frozen body of his brother Simón across Spain in order to bury it in the house where they grew up. Although they have not spoken for years, Tristán will soon discover that the past and his brother’s mistakes are chasing him. However, Álex, a young hitchhiker that he picks up along the way, will convince him that the obstacles he has to face on this strange road trip are perhaps his last chance to live a true experience.
