The One-Eyed King

A family dinner at the policeman David's place. His wife Lidia has invited her childhood friend Sandra and her husband. He had lost one eye at a protest rally and the perpetrator turns out to be none other than the host... Contemporary Spanish playwright Marc Crehuet has chosen a side problem, a rather isolated case to make his characters collide. He throws them in a labirynth of actions where they must yield their convictions or at least cave in. "The One-Eyed King" touches upon some painfully topical subjects of political responsibility, legalized state violence and the need for political foresight. The genre departs from political satire and turns into a black comedy about the fragility of our convictions, the nature of social roles and the quest for truth. (Cinemax)
