Yet another of the countless productions that may seem good on paper but turn into disaster on screen. Also, the magic words "based on a true story" more often than not are a sure recipe for failure: just because something happened, doesn't make it worthier than fiction.
From the beginning the script jumps all over the timeline, introducing a couple of characters with a complex back story and then moving on to a high ranking member of the Spanish government on the run, after having embezzled a fortune.
I knew nothing about any of this and I found all the characters uninteresting, rude and annoying. The editing is equally unexciting, with repetitive scenes about money being moved left and right and VIPs jetting around to follow their money.
The plot is so disjointed as to give you a headache, unless you're very much into recent Spanish history and thrilled by this semi-fictional take on the "real events".
