The Deer (Oreina)
Part of the Focus on Spain Strand
Focusing on a relationship that’s synonymous with the changing social landscape of Spain, this gentle human drama follows two unlikely acquaintances living on the outskirts of San Sebastián. In the industrial belt, young biker Khalil (Laulad Ahmed) scratches out a living any way he can. Meanwhile, José Ramón (Patxi Bisquert), a poacher, takes what he needs from the rivers and marshes he has long called home. This is a well-observed, contemplative drama punctuated by flashes of genuine humanity and with two strong performances at its core. [15]
