2023 Huelva Best Actor (R. de la Serna)

Starring Money Heist’s award-winning actor Rodrigo de la Serna, The Rescue: is a powerful political thriller set in the 1980s in Buenos Aires after the downfall of the brutal dictatorship. Soon after Julio Levy returns from political exile to take a seat in the family’s industry empire, his older brother is kidnapped. Julio becomes the lead negotiator with the criminals. Coping with all the media attention, he must carry the whole family on his shoulders as he unveils the influential forces still at play behind Argentina’s reinstated but impaired democracy. Reflecting on the fading memory of a country through the small details of precious family ties, The Rescue: had its world premiere in the Orizzonti section at the Venice Film Festival.
