Lobos sucios

In 1944, in a Spain impoverished and almost annihilated by the Civil War, Manuela and Candela are two completely different sisters who live in a little town deep in Galicia. Manuela only wants to live in peace and heal her sick little daughter Alba, but her younger sister Candela steals little amounts of the wolfram (a mineral used in World War II for tanks and fire weapons) she extracts in a mine to sell it on the black market, trying to get money. She also helps Bryan, an English agent of British Intelligence living secretly in the town, in an attempt to close the mine used by the Germans with General Franco's permission, to move all the wolfram they can to Germany, to expand their weaponry. Manuela reluctantly collaborates with Candela to contact a former guerrilla, Miguel Peña, to organize the mine workers (all them Franco's prisoners from the Civil War, condemned to penal servitude to avoid being executed) to dig a secret tunnel to steal the wolfram, but their plans turn more complicated when Candela starts to help fugitive Jews get to Portugal to impress young Englishman Edgar; and Franz, German supervisor of the mine, shows a love interest in Manuela, stirring up jealousy in Miguel. Can the two sisters stop the Germans before Franz realizes that Manuela and Candela are double agents?

The Passion of the Christ

2 hr 7 mins
A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus - who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God' - is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free - Jesus, or Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd - assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
