B, la pelicula

The film is set in 15th July 2013 when the veteran party treasurer , Luis Barcenas (Pedro Casablanc) , is transferred from the provincial prison to Audiencia Nacional court in order to testify in the presence of Judge Instruction number 5 , Ruz (Manolo Solo) , when he previously , he had denied everything . Up until now , he's denied any connection with the so-called Barcenas Papers which evidence the existence of an unofficial accounting system inside the conservative Spanish party (Partido Popular) . This issue was uncovered by the Luis' lawyer and Popular Party member , Jorge Trias , who gave up the Barcenas' papers to ¨El País¨ newspaper , being publicized and causing a big mayhem . There , he is submitted to questions by the judge , his advocates at law , the ex-judge Javier Gómez De Liaño (Pedro Civera) , María Dolores Márquez De Prado (in real life an ex-Fiscal married to Gómez De Liaño) , and prosecutor (Carlos Olalla) . However , after 18 days in prison , he decides to change his statement. Today he will tell the truth.

This films portrays faithfully what happened on July 15, 2013 , that day in that court room in which Luis Barcenas gave a long declaration plenty of questions and answers about the dark happenings become involved the Conservative Spanish party . As it describes really events happened in Partido Popular with Barcenas/Pedro Casablanc giving long speeches and subjected to inquisitorial questions by accusations and defenses . The picture results to be a correct retelling taken from the declaration of Barcenas between judge Ruz , as he declares about a ¨B box¨ , implicating notorious members of the party and staff from Federico Trillo , Jaime Mayor Oreja , Maria Dolores De Cospedal , Jose Maria Aznar , the treasurer Alvaro Puertas to Mariano Rajoy .
