for Best Actor at the San Sebastián Film Festival for his performance.

(Juan José Ballesta), a 16-year-old serving time in a juvenile detention center who is granted a 48-hour pass to attend his brother’s wedding.

Juan José Ballesta (Tano) y Jesús Carroza (Richi) Pelicula 7 Virgenes UPD

Alberto Rodríguez shoots the film with a humid, suffocating grain. You can almost smell the sweat, the cheap cologne, the fried fish, and the river Guadalquivir. The heat acts as a psychological intensifier. Every bad decision (a stolen scooter, a beating, a near-fatal overdose) feels inevitable because the heat makes logic impossible.

The film strips away any romanticized notions of delinquency. It portrays a marginalized, working-class neighborhood in Seville—a setting heavily influenced by the post-Expo 92 era in Spain, when many urban areas faced massive urban cleanup and societal changes.
