Operación princesa
What if it were possible to recognise every corrupt politician, police officer or business person by an indelible mark on the face? And what if a humble pawn were to cross the whole board, become a queen – or at least a princess – and put the enemy king in checkmate? And what if a humble young man were to rock the whole political, economic and social system of a country? A promising future and a simple family are the main props of Alex's life in Columbia until a drugs cartel crosses his path. From that moment onwards, fearing that his life will end as suddenly and violently as that of his partner, Alex has only one idea in his head: to escape. So, when his cousin Paula Andrea talks about the possibility of going to Madrid on an uncertain job offer, he doesn't think twice; he takes the thousand euros offered by the organisation and sets out for a new life.
