About Barren Land
Barren Land is the story of three friends. All three trapped between the abandonment of the institutions, the violent and unstoppable rise of the narco in the province and the dangerous increase of social discontent. Three friends trapped in a powder keg that will test their friendship.
Directed by Albert Pintó, Barren Land leans on a strong ensemble — Luis Zahera, Karra Elejalde, Jesús Carroza — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2025.
