Director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia Takes on Social and Class Divides in 'Rich Flu' Trailer

Mamma Team present the Official Trailer of 'Rich Flu', the latest film by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, titled 'LA FIEBRE DE LOS RICOS' in Spanish, coming to theatres on January 24th, 2025, distributed by Filmax. Following its participation in the Official Competition Section at the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival, 'Rich Flu' is produced by Nostromo Pictures, Fabula Films, Basque Films, and Mamma Team. This is Gaztelu-Urrutia’s first English-language film, featuring an international cast led by Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Ahsoka), with notable performances by Timothy Spall (Spencer), Lorraine Bracco (The Sopranos), and Jonah Hauer-King (The Little Mermaid).

As he did in The Platform, Galder once again confronts audiences with the raw and ironic take on social and class divides. When a dangerous virus begins to affect the wealthiest, the world’s richest people start to fall, overturning the established social order and sparking global chaos. The film has been described by EITB as an “impactful blend of genres with a fiercely relevant message.”

A deadly virus begins infecting the world’s wealthiest individuals just as Laura is reaching the peak of her professional success. Initially, the virus seems to target only billionaires, but it soon spreads, affecting people with more modest fortunes, forcing everyone to get rid of their wealth. The problem? There’s no one left to sell it to... Class struggle and pandemic sci-fi come together in this dystopian film from the acclaimed director of The Platform.
