Director's Statement

Santi is a young man who, as so many nowadays, sees his dreams shattered due to the severe economical crisis affecting Spain. Julio represents another group of people in the dramatic role of being the bearers of bad news for their loved ones. Both Julio and Santi are friends, but in this economic system there are no names but numbers. Layoffs are cheaper than ever and friendship is not a form of life insurance anymore. "Somos Amigos (We Are Friends)" is a drama in a comedy tone because we already have the big corporations to spoil the fun, right'
