Revenge is a human beast that may consume even the most morally righteous of men and women in the world. It has no understanding of perspective and may sometimes lead people to commit outrageous crimes, all in the understanding of 'an eye for an eye'. In six intertwined stories, the theme of vengeance is explored: 'Pasternak' sees a man luring those who have wronged him onto a plane, 'The Rats' sees a chef carry out an act of revenge on behalf of his waitress, 'The Strongest' is road rage at its most intense, 'Little Bomb' is about an explosives expert who lands himself a parking ticket, 'The Proposal' describes a manipulated hit-and-run court case and 'Until Death Do Us Part' features probably the most traumatic wedding reception imaginable.

'Wild Tales' is a six segment collection of Argentinian short films directed and written by Damián Szifrón ('Hermanos & detectives', 'On Probation', 'The Bottom of the Sea'). All centering around violence and revenge, the film has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year, and has won a series of Argentinean Academy awards alongside several other nominations. It is scheduled for UK release on March 27th 2015.
