giveuptomorrowOn the Philippine island of Cebu, two sisters leave work and never come home. That night, hundreds of miles away, Paco Larrañaga is at a party surrounded by witnesses. Paco is accused of the rape and murder of the young women. His physical appearance and a past record of petty crime lead the media circus to pounce on him and endorse his death sentence.


A true thriller about the case of Paco Larrañaga. In Spain, more than 200,000 signatures were collected in a cry for his freedom. The case is still open today.
