Gun City / La Sombra De La Ley (2018)

In the hard, convulsive times of 1921 Spain, Anibal Uriarte, a veteran soldier of the Morocco War converted into a cop, is sent by his superior from Spain's capital Madrid to Barcelona (Catalonia, northeast of Spain) to locate an important amount of military weaponry stolen from a train, apparently by revolutionary anarchists. On his arrival in the city Uriarte meets Inspector Rediu, a corrupt officer, and cops, including violent Tisico, young Beltran, and El Baron, owner of the famous cabaret Eden where he exploits his dancers, filming adult movies (involving minors and lesbians) only for the eyes of high society. At the same time Salvador Ortiz is the leader of a peaceful riot in an important company of the city, in the fight for workers' rights, while Salvador's daughter, telephone operator Sara, leads her own revolution to defend women's rights. Learning quickly to move in a sea of conspiracy, corruption and treachery, Uriarte makes a deal with El Baron, bypassing Rediu, to work for him as an informer. A bit later he saves Salvador from death during a police assault on the factory property of Garcia Serrano, a rich businessman who is contacted by El Baron in hope that Serrano will use his influence to get him admitted to El Liceo, the most important club in the city, reserved for the richest and most privileged. Therefore, the situation worsens after Leon, a young worker determined to take arms and lead a bloody revolution in opposition to Salvador's peaceful ways, and Tisico's suspects about Uriarte believing him as a danger for Rediu's illegal business. With time running out and General Martinez Anido wanting to make a military invasion in Barcelona to kill the anarchists, Uriarte's only hope to prevent a massacre and a possible coup d'etat in Spain is locate the weapons stolen and expose Rediu's corruption as well as El Baron, contacting Salvador and Sara looking for help. Can Uriarte survive enough to save the city and himself from the imminent danger that threatens to kill some thousand people?
