El Bar (The Bar) unfolds inside a claustrophobic Madrid bar after a stranger shoots a patron, trapping a diverse group of customers and staff. Fear, prejudice and secrets surface as minutes pass, exposing class tensions, immigration anxieties and the fragility of civility. Outside, officials hustle, media frenzy roils, and moral choices clash with instinct. Álex de la Iglesia layers suspense with social satire to produce a sharp, unnerving ensemble thriller.
