What happens in Salvador?

Salvador (Tosar), a former doctor recovering from addictions to alcohol and gambling, has a lot of regrets in his life, including not having been a better father to his now-estranged daughter, Milena (Arestegui). These days, Salvador, aka Salva, works as an ambulance technician in Madrid. One night, he and his team — including the empathetic but no-nonsense Marjane (Sheikhan) — are dispatched to a rally ahead of a soccer match led by hyperintense fans known as ultras. After a neo-Nazi ultra group, the White Souls, pelts authorities with Molotov cocktails and commits acts of racial violence against fans of the opposing team, Salvador and his colleagues race to help those who were injured.

Later that evening, as they come to the aid of a man who’s been beaten at a local bar — one that, unbeknownst to Salva, also serves as the White Souls’ headquarters — Salvador notices a familiar face: his daughter’s. She’s not only working at the bar but is also a member of the neo-Nazi group. They have a heated exchange, and it’s one of the last times he ever sees her. Haunted by his shortcomings and looking for redemption in an unjust world, Salvador begins to investigate the right-wing rabbit hole his daughter fell down to get answers about where it all went wrong.
