7 aņos - by all means, baby!

Streaming on Netflix is this little marvel of a psychological drama.
The plot immediately reminds of another great film in that genre: the 1964 "Le repas des fauves" by Christian-Jaque.
The basic idea is simple - a group of friends, partners, or partners/friends, is locked in a room, where under severe time pressure they must select one of them to become a fall guy - to be shot as a hostage (occupied France), or to go to jail for 7 years in order to save the rest - in modern day Spain.
As usually happens in an extreme situation like this, all hidden relationships, all undercurrents, both the good and the ugly come to light, and no one walks away unscathed.
A rather short film at one hour and 17 minutes, but a fine entertainment.
