Creditors

Based on August Strindberg's 1888 play, "Creditors" is a modern re-telling of Strindberg's story of love, betrayal, and revenge. Grant Pierce (Christian McKay) arrives from London into Spain, hoping to be given the chance to meet American painter Freddie Lynch (Ben Cura). As Grant steps into the "El Madroño" hotel in the outskirts of Madrid, he finds Lynch a crippled man whom, he soon reveals, has been unable to paint for the better part of a year. As the two men get to know each other under the watchful eye of one of the owners of the hotel, Michael Redmane (Tom Bateman), they start to piece together the disturbing picture of Freddie's marriage to writer Chloe Fleury (Andrea Deck).
