Overview

• 'Los Tigres' centers on a fraternal bond within a submarine thriller, starring Antonio de la Torre and Bárbara Lennie as industrial divers on the Huelva coast.
• Rodríguez highlights a second layer of social commentary touching on economic strain, precarious work and immigration within the film's genre framework.
• A stash of cocaine affixed to a ship's hull drives the thriller premise, which the director links to shifting drug routes that have increasingly affected Huelva.
• Production involved extensive offshore and underwater filming up to eight miles from land, which Rodríguez calls a courageous allowance by his producers.
• The film screens in competition at San Sebastián and is slated for theatrical release on 31 October 2025, while coverage there also premieres his Cercas-based series that closely follows the book and reflects his concern over younger audiences' knowledge of Transition-era figures.
