El Verdugo plot
"An original and brilliant movie"
In the 1960s, the death penalty is still in effect in Spain. Since carrying out such a punishment is not really a nice job, 'executioner' José tries to retire. This is not so easy as he has received his apartment from the state as collateral for his work. His daughter has just married and since his son-in-law has no other home, he is forced to take over the job. He swears he'll stop before he actually has to kill someone. Unfortunately, an execution is soon announced.
