DESCRIPTION
Power, money, political corruption, lies and a ruthless fight to stay on top. Sound familiar? The titled “kingdom” is a political deal that continues despite the fall of “kings”. Manuel López-Vidal, Vice-President of the autonomy, is blamed for political corruption in his party. From an extremely liked politician he becomes accused of financial embezzlement and abuse of power. Supported by his wife and daughter, he tries to continue playing a difficult game and trying to change the prevailing balance of power. Sorogoyen avoids simple judgement, he prefers to ask the question “why?”.
