The festival will be opened by the Spanish film Smoke & Mirrors by the director Alberto Rodríguez on 6 April. Bribes, star witnesses, secret services and billions in foreign accounts – the largest Spanish corruption scandal of the 1990s and the story of a man who deceived the entire Spain.

This suspenseful spy film received a number of awards, including the Silver Shell at the San Sebastián Film Festival for the best acting performance in a leading role for Eduard Fernández and the Feroz Zinemaldia Award for the best film. The Goya Award for the best adapted screenplay should also be mentioned.
