Gold Lust

Set in the late 19th century, this Western follows a young peasant named Cileta whose family loses their farmhouse to a loan shark named Oleguer. The arrival of the railroad brings modernization to their isolated town, but it also introduces the predatory Oleguer and his questionable business dealings. After he seizes the property and takes up residence there, Cileta becomes determined to reclaim her home. To achieve her goal, she is willing to adopt the same ruthless methods used by the man who displaced her.

Produced in Spain by several companies, including TV3, Nakamura Films, Abacus Idea, and Mayo Films, the production involved a credited crew of 43 people.
