Bitter Christmas.
Pedro Almodóvar
An advertising director faces a turbulent Christmas weekend. 20 years later, a filmmaker turns her story into a screenplay, blurring the lines between reality, fiction and the people closest to him.



This low-key revenge thriller was shot against stunning landscapes, the beauty of which is in stark counterpoint to the hardscrabble lives of the villagers and their grim personal dramas.
Loosely based on his own experience, ‘The Riot’ is an impressive feature debut by an accomplished documentary-maker who believes that in the modern world it is becoming increasingly difficult to forgive and be merciful.
