Summary
El Lobo is a French-Spanish thriller film directed by Miguel Courtois, released in 2004. The movie is based on a true story set against the backdrop of Spain's political landscape during Franco's dictatorship in the 1970s. It explores themes of betrayal, trust, and manipulation through its protagonist Txema, who becomes an undercover agent for the secret service infiltrating ETA, a Basque separatist organization. The film delves into the complexities of ideological divides within ETA between those advocating for political activism over armed struggle and those committed to pursuing independence by any means necessary.
