The film explores the lives and stories of the two men who became the leaders of the terrorist cell that committed the Madrid bombings on March 11, 2004. One, a Tunisian would-be intellectual who spun into increasingly extremist circles, the other, an extremely violent Moroccan drug dealer: they lived in separate worlds - the criminal underworld and religious extremism - until their paths crossed six months before the bombing.
