EL LOBO (2004)

Cast

Plot

This film is inspired by the life of Mikel Lejarza "Lobo" (The Wolf), a Basque informant who betrayed ETA between 1973 and 1975. Lobo contributed to the fall of one quarter of the terrorist activists of the organisation, including several Special Forces members and top-level figures from the group. Lejarza's betrayal destabilised ETA at a time when its actions where becoming a perfect justification for the most conservative arm of the Franco regime to take full powers and stop the democratic process in Spain. Winner of 2 Goya awards, El Lobo is not intelligent, but it is a nail-biting thriller.
