Synopsis

Germán is no ordinary driver: he is in charge of transporting the women who work like slaves in the brothels of the Costa del Sol. 40 years old, he is ruined and totally lost. Germán tries to make his way working for Cacho, an old friend from his youth who runs various prostitution establishments for a local mafia. Night after night, Germán takes the girls from one place to another: women coerced by debts impossible to pay; underage girls trapped in a spiral with no escape. This is Germán’s routine but not his problem; he just wants some money to settle his debts. Until, one night, he comes across a chance to leave it all behind: he attempts to steal the takings that are transferred every early morning in a van with a false bottom. What appears to be a chance to change his life ends up becoming a well from which it is impossible to escape. Although, perhaps, with his help one of these girls may still be in time to get away.
