The Courier (El correo) 2024

The film El correo (The Courier), released in 2024, is a Spanish crime-thriller directed by Daniel Calparsoro with a screenplay by Patxi Amezcua and Alejo Flah. The movie, which premiered in Spain on January 19, 2024, and was distributed internationally by Netflix, is set between 2002 and 2010. The plot follows Iván Márquez (played by Arón Piper), a working-class valet from Vallecas, Madrid, who seizes an opportunity to become a courier for an international money-laundering network. Leveraging the chaos and corruption surrounding the introduction of the euro and Spain's massive real estate boom, Iván quickly climbs the ranks, transporting suitcases of dirty cash across Europe to be funneled into Swiss bank accounts for powerful figures like politicians and businessmen, all while embracing a life of decadent luxury, fast cars, and drug use. The film, which also stars María Pedraza and Luis Tosar, is inspired by true events and uses Iván's exhilarating rise and inevitable fall—culminating in his arrest during a major anti-corruption operation—to critique the systemic greed and corruption that led to the Great Spanish Depression and had devastating effects on the nation's welfare.
