Guts () is a 2009 Spanish crime drama film starring Hugo Silva and Carmelo Gómez.
Plot
Guts (Agallas) follows Sebas, a petty criminal recently released from prison. Instead of returning to a life of crime, he decides to seek legitimate employment at a small company in Galicia. However, his motivation is not purely honest—he suspects the company’s custodian, Regueira, has not built his wealth through legal means, especially not by selling crabs. When Sebas finally gets hired, Regueira quickly recognizes that the young man has "guts" and decides to take him under his wing as an assistant. The story unfolds around the world of drug trafficking in Spain’s Galician region, revealing the complex and dangerous dynamics between the characters.
