Synopsis

'Igelak' (in euskera, it means "frogs"), directed by Paco Telleria, tells the story of Pello (Gorka Otxoa), the director of a bank branch who is arrested for an economic crime. His superior, who put him in that problem, turns his back on him. Pello runs away in order to avoid jail and that way he becomes a justice fugitive. With a false indentity made up to hide from law, he ends up living in a building full of homeless people on strike. Our main character will build trust among his homeless partners with the objective of stealing all their money and pay some false documentation with his new identity, run away from the country and start a new life far away from his economic and legal problems.
