The Heroes of Evil
Alternative title: Los héroes del mal

Directed by Zoe Berriatúa

Three teenagers, brought together by bullying, indulge in petty theft, sex and drugs. They inevitably realize they can resort to violence to take revenge on everyone who has humiliated them: students, teachers and other outcasts. One of them escalates to killing, and desires to kill again. Anyone can become his next victim. The other two face the question: should they resort to violence to stop the killings?
The Heroes of Evil is a fierce Spanish coming-of-age drama about three alienated teenagers whose rebellion turns increasingly destructive. Zoe Berriatúa captures youthful anger with intensity, and the film’s willingness to let its characters remain difficult gives it a raw edge.
