Description
Brother and sister Antonio and Estrella work as industrial divers off the rugged coast near the Spanish port city of Huelva. Antonio, better known as “The Tiger,” is fearless and unmatched beneath the water, but his life on land is a complete mess. While Estrella sacrifices her own dreams to keep her brother afloat, Antonio’s financial struggles and declining health push them further into trouble. Then they discover a shipment of cocaine hidden in the hull of a ship. What initially appears to be an unexpected way out soon turns into a dangerous game that puts their loyalty and family bond to the ultimate test.
Los Tigres is a gripping Spanish thriller about family ties, loyalty, and sacrifice. Director Alberto Rodríguez, known for the award-winning Marshland (La Isla Mínima), explores the dangerous world of industrial diving, combining raw realism with a compelling crime story and an intimate family drama. The film’s powerful performances and spectacular underwater cinematography earned Los Tigres several awards, including Best Cinematography at the San Sebastián International Film Festival.
