Synopsis

​​​​​​​Local politician Manuel López Vidal is a rising star. Dapper and go-ahead, he looks set to inherit the mantle of a regional potentate, but when news breaks of a corruption scandal in which he is implicated, his upward trajectory comes to an abrupt halt. As the revelations multiply, Manuel’s party (which is never named or located on the political spectrum) moves to throw out the ‘bad apples’. Manuel is cornered: having expected at least tacit support from his party colleagues, he finds instead that he is isolated and he tries to protect himself by threatening to uncover the full scale of the dirty dealing in which the party is mired.

The Realm is a political thriller, an exposé of the corruption corroding the world of politics, and it peels back the skin to show how the rot sets in, almost as a matter of course, among men and women convinced that certain kinds of behaviour are perfectly normal. Antonio de la Torre is masterful in the role of a desperate man determined not to pay the price of his own vanity.
