Screening of 'No Rest For The Wicked' ('No Habrá Paz para los Malvados') at the 2012 Festival Of New Spanish Cinema.

In its fifth consecutive year, the 2012 Festival of New Spanish Cinema consolidates itself as the most important itinerant festival of contemporary Spanish Cinema in North America. Pragda and the Embassy of Spain in Canada celebrate its return, which will bring some of the riskiest and most innovative Spanish films of the year to ByTowne Cinema, featuring the strongest program yet. All the films are premieres in Ottawa.

Inspector Santos Trinidad, a veteran policeman, drinks too much and works too little. Maybe to forget he was once a model officer at the Intelligence Unit now downgraded to Missing Persons. Events turn sour one night and Santos finds himself implicated in a triple homicide in an after-hours club. He cleans up the crime scene and starts the hunt for the one witness who managed to escape. Following his trail, Santos discovers a complicated and sordid network of prostitution and drug trafficking that serves to finance a far more sophisticated criminal plan. Although the official police investigation on the triple murder begins to tighten the net around him, Santos is finally back doing what he does best.

No Rest for the Wicked took home an impressive six Goya Awards in 2012, including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor.
