GDL is a Mexican dark comedy-drama film set in Guadalajara. We meet Daniel Lurdez, a young man who, after arriving in the city, ends up in a psychologist’s office. Seeing that he is clearly struggling, she asks him, “Why do you feel like you feel this way?” Daniel begins to tell his story, and through his memories, we experience his first year in Guadalajara: the people he met, his relationships, parties, hopes, disappointments, and failures. Throughout this year, we discover a gigantic, contradictory, and vibrant city; a monster that slowly transforms everyone who arrives. Guadalajara promises opportunities and a new life, but it can also destroy the dreams of those trying to find their place in it. Daniel arrived looking to become someone different. In the end, the city turned him into someone he never imagined he would become. GODS, DEVILS AND LIARS.
By 1314, through effort and intrigue, Scottish King Robert Bruce had captured every major English-held castle except Stirling. Now English King Edward II would try to stop him - and subdue the Scottish rebellion forever.

Filmed in the style of 300 and Sin City and with intense and bloody battle scenes, we bring to life one of the most iconic times in Scottish history.

Nor will the return of the wolf change anything – according to the hunters in the area, the wolf has no place here, anyway. The film accompanies three hunters in their forests and in long, tranquil shots provides insights into the hidden world behind hunting terminology and loden coats.
