The Righteous

What it’s about

Nine ordinary citizens sit on a jury for a high-profile corruption case. The evidence seems overwhelming and the public expects a guilty verdict. Then each juror secretly receives an offer: one million euros to change their vote to not guilty. But the deal only pays if the entire jury reaches a unanimous decision. The deliberation becomes a tense negotiation as hidden motives surface.

What hooks you

Directed by Jorge Lara and Fernando Pérez, the film stars Pilar Castro as Cecilia, Bruna Cusí as Alicia, and Vito Sanz as Javi. The premise of a bribe that requires unanimity creates a pressure-cooker situation where every character's integrity is tested.

Who it’s for

It will appeal to those who like moral dilemmas and slow-burning tension, and to viewers who enjoy courtroom dramas that focus on character rather than procedure.
