EXCLUSIVE: Director Hugo Ruiz has signed with Buchwald. Ruiz wrote and directed the film One Night With Adela, the Spanish filmmaker’s debut feature which is currently available to stream via Amazon.
Laura Galán stars as Adela, a street cleaner in Madrid hellbent on revenge against those who have made her life miserable.

One Night With Adela also stars Gemma Nierga, Jimmy Barnatán, Raudel Raúl, Litus, Rosalía Omil, Fernando Moraleda and Beatriz Morandeira.
