'Llobàs' trailer

Adrià (León Martínez) is a homeless, mute and orphaned teenager, who avoids closed spaces and suffers bullying at school. His brooding gaze soon drifts away in another direction. Impermanence and problems follow him, especially with a full moon. He is the protagonist of the second feature film by producer and director Pau Calpe Rufat, Llobàs, premiered in the International Competition of the Warsaw Festival. This new film, a psychological drama inspired by folklore and the social reality of marginal and nomadic lifestyles in rural Spain, adapts the novel Lobisón by Ginés Sánchez into a contained and unconventional story about lycanthropes.

The film shrouds the possible transformation of the protagonist in mystery, showing his thirst for the blood of chickens at night, but his fragile self-perception clashes with the traditional figure of the werewolf. León Martínez's performance prevents the film from bordering on parody, oscillating between genre cinema and social realism.
