A new Spanish war action film, "Carte Blanche," is set to be presented at the Cannes market. Directed by Gerardo Herrero, the movie plunges viewers into the unforgiving Moroccan desert of 1921, during Spain's conflict with Berber tribesmen.
The narrative centers on an elite Spanish Legion unit tasked with a perilous revenge mission. Their objective is to avenge the torture and murder of Spanish soldiers, including the commander's brother.
What begins as a raid on a Berber village rapidly devolves into scenes of intense violence, including rape, torture, and slaughter. The squad's fight for survival becomes a suicide mission as they are pursued through an arid canyon.
Starring Ivan Pellicer as the morally upright Faura, alongside Salva Reina and Victor Clavijo, the film utilizes impressive special effects. It was shot in the iconic Almería desert, a location favored by legendary directors.
