"Asfalto"
2000
Directed by Daniel Calparsoro

Petty thief Lucia (Najwa Nimri) adopts a thuggish boyfriend (Gustavo Salmeron) and a criminal partner (Juan Diego Botto) in one fell swoop, setting herself up for a sticky triangle of personal and professional alliances. Sex and Lucia star Nimri shines in the lead role, and director Calparsoro propels his crime thriller along against the stunning backdrop of Madrid. Spanish with English subtitles.  90 minutes.
