About Puro veneno
Victor finds his wife, Virginia, in bed with another man. Virginia is dead, and the two men decide to lie so as not to tarnish the memory of the deceased. The lover will disappear, and Victor will declare that Virginia died by his side. But the game of falsehoods will become complicated. Nothing will go as planned, and a new woman will appear who will make both of them lose their heads.
Directed by Xavier Ribera, Puro veneno leans on a strong ensemble — Assumpta Serna, Santiago Lajusticia, Josep Maria Pou — 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 drama titles of 1996.
