ISLANDS

With Sam Riley, Jack Farthing, Stacy Martin

A ruthlessly amoral British grifter living in the Canary Islands gets into hot water over his head in this neo-noir thriller that critics have likened to Patricia Highsmith’s “Ripley” stories.  Tom (Riley), the resident tennis pro at a luxury resort, lives a life of hedonism and tropical boredom until the perky blonde wife of a wealthy vacationing couple with a young son catches his eye and spices his routine.  Scheming a smokescreen, he coaxes boorish husband Dave to join him in a night of binge drinking.  During their chaotic barhopping on the town, Tom loses his grip on the situation and Dave mysteriously disappears.  Once the police begin their inquiries it seems that no one who saw Tom that night can recall ever seeing Dave…  In English, Spanish and German with English subtitles
