2005 (Venezuela) See more »It begun in the middle 30's in a town nearby Bogotá, Colombia. Tomás Manrique, his wife Josefina and his little son Pedro, had to take a train and leave that town as soon as a war conflict started in the area. When they arrived to Bogota, a man called Pascual became their friend, and got a hotel for them to stay. When Tomás and Pascual got closer friends, Pascual robbed them. But when Tomás found it out, and went to reclaim his money, Pascual introduce him into a easy-life world, into dirty businesses and crime. In that exactly moment, Tomás damned the whole 5 next generations of the Manrique family. He damned them to suffer and made their lives a hell. Ten years later, Pedro met Marlene, a nurse, and fell in love with her. Pascual was having money troubles with Tomás, suspecting that him was taking advantages of their businesses and "gaining" more money than him, so he killed him. Pedro found this out
This is the story of the Manrique, a provincial family that moved to Bogotá after one of its patriarchs decided to try his luck in the city. He ended up founding a criminal organization by accident and decided to strengthen it. Then, he tried to reintegrate into society but tragically succumbed after having created an illegal world.
The decade of the 30s brought a radical, violent, and armed political conflict to the country. Tomás Manrique had to flee his home town with his wife Josefina and his son Pedrito. During the night, an armed group unexpectedly barged in a party killing every male they found to be in the opposite political party. When this war that he had decided not to be a part of had begun, he moved to the capital with his family where he accepted a job in a factory that manufactured screws.
One afternoon, a group of thieves entered the factory. Tomás ended up being the hero accidentally when he immobilized the criminals, winning the respect and trust from his boss Facundo, who allowed Tomás, dandy by nature, to enter and desire his wealthy lifestyle, full of luxury and commodity. But Tomás knows that collecting such a fortune means many years of hard work, and he was not willing to wait so long. He decided to rob his boss's house with the complicity of Pascual, a thief and new friend. In order to get the guns for this, they made a deal with a mobster who, in return, asked for part of the loot and took Pedro, Tomás's son, as a guarantee. Tomás accepted the deal, but things got complicated, and he ended up killing his boss and also later killing the mobster who lend them the guns, and therefore not sharing any of the loot. He rescued his son and got home with a feeling of having done the right thing.
This marked the beginning of a world of crime in the life of Tomás, and little by little, the Manrique rose to the point of a stable income and wellbeing through legal and illegal businesses. Tomás's dream of becoming a well established, honest businessman and gentleman never came true, and he slowly resigned himself to work in the underworld.

His daughter hated Pedro when she found out that her dad lost the money she made a deal. The deal was if she could beat him she would get the money back for her dad.

Carlos
Also Known As:
Carlos - Der Schakal See more »Stars:
Édgar Ramírez, Alexander Scheer and Alejandro ArroyoThe story of Venezuelan revolutionary Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, who founded a worldwide terrorist organization and raided the 1975 OPEC meeting.
Initially, Carlos was to focus on the terrorist’s capture in Sudan in 1994 and run only 90 minutes. However, once director Olivier Assayas agreed to make it and he conducted extensive research, he realized that there was much more to explore with the man and the times he lived in: "I felt it was the fate of one man and, in a certain way, the story of one generation, plus a meditation on time, history, fate and issues more universal than the specific history of Carlos".[1] Former foreign correspondent and Le Monde editor Stephen Smith compiled the film’s research, some of which came from the files of intelligence agencies[1] that became available after the fall of the Berlin Wall when files from former Soviet Bloc countries surfaced. Some of the film's dialogue came from tape recordings made by the Stasi, the secret police of the former East Germany.[2] Made with a budget of $18 million, Carlos was Assayas' first foray into television.[3] Originally, he was not interested in the project because it seemed "too crazy and too complicated".[4] He was drawn to the project because it allowed him to make a film dealing with recent history and real people. He said, "not long ago, the idea of making a film about Carlos would have scared French producers, but nowadays I sense that we're being encouraged to make films that have a contemporary dimension".[3] Actor Edgar Ramirez said, "What we’re trying to do is demystify him. This guy who supposedly had everything figured out was not as keen as he was said to be. The public and historical image was as history’s big manipulator but in many moments of his life, he was being manipulated".[4]
Initially, Assayas was worried about finding the right actor to play Carlos because they need, "the shoulders and the charisma to carry this kind of movie on his back".[1] Fortunately, he cast Ramirez who, like the real Carlos, is a Venezuelan and his family came from the same small Western Andean state. The actor described Carlos as, "a bit of a monster, a bit of a dreamer, a bit of an idealist, a bit of an assassin, a mixture of everything, full of contradictions, and that’s what made him interesting to me".[1] The production was shot in seven months across three continents in countries such as Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Lebanon, and Morocco.[5] The film was shot mostly in English-language with passages in French, Spanish, Hungarian, Italian, Arabic, German, Russian, Dutch and Japanese.[6] As filming continued, Ramirez put on 35 pounds in order to resemble Carlos's overweight physical condition at the time of his capture. The final two hours of the film were shot in sequence.[7]
The 5½ hour version of Carlos was screened out of Competition at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival on May 19, 2010.[8] The series aired on Canal Plus in prime-time in late May 2010.[3] In November 2009, IFC Films acquired all U.S. rights to both the mini-series and the theatrical version. The former premiered on the Sundance Channel on October 11, 2010 and was shown over three nights, while both versions received a theatrical release with only the shorter version available on video on demand.[9]
