La mala familia

A boy is nervously awaiting trial for a crime that happened five years ago. 'La mala familia' tells the story of Andres, Nata and the rest of the Mala Familia gang who made a mistake when they were eighteen years old, not knowing the consequences it could lead to. As a result, Andresito would spend a year in preventive prison and be immersed, along with all his friends, in a traumatic and convoluted judicial process.

A long time later, in 2021, thanks to the distance that time has given them, the gang of friends meet again to prove and demonstrate that they are still a family, despite everything. They have not seen each other for a long time, and they take advantage of Andresito's penitentiary leave to meet again all together and enjoy a hot summer day on the outskirts of Madrid. As the sun begins to set, they will have to face the problem of the past again, which threatens to put them all in jail.

'La Mala Familia' is the feature debut of Nacho A. Villar and Luis Rojo, both members of the film collective BRBR. The film, which is partly a documentary and partly a drama, has won numerous awards in various festivals such as the 59th Gijón International Film Festival, the Filmin award at Atlántida Film Fest and the OPEN ECAM award, among others.
