La Bola Negra: Official Teaser

La Bola Negra is a drama connecting the lives of three men across pivotal periods of Spanish history, from the 1930s to the present day. It is co-directed by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi.

Set to Vera Lynn’s ‘We’ll Meet Again,’ the teaser moves in turn between a casino in a small town, the height of the Spanish Civil War, and scenes from the present day. By crosscutting between people and places from different eras, it briefly presents the film’s expansive timeline, following the traces one generation leaves for the next.

The story follows three men in Spain in 1932, 1937, and 2017. The narratives intertwine: Carlos (Milo Kiffes), who longs to belong in a divided Spain; Sebastián (Guitarricadelafuente), who forms a relationship beyond enemy lines; and Alberto (Carlos González), who confronts a long-buried family secret. Miguel Bernardeau, Lola Dueñas, Julio Torres, Penélope Cruz, and Glenn Close also star.

Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi co-wrote the screenplay with Alberto Conejero, drawing on Conejero’s play and texts by Federico García Lorca. The film will be released on Netflix in the United States and Canada on December 2, 2026, after playing in U.S. theaters beginning October 16.
