He tells him that he once had a brother who became a drug addict after he got access to the drugs that were being sold everywhere by Padin’s men. Much later in the movie, Mario finally reveals it to Padin that all this while, he had been killing him slowly by not giving him the medicines for his illness and instead, injecting him with heroin. His motives are initially presented as mystery and with the flashbacks that complement these scenes, one can only guess what’s making him do this. Things get even stranger when he starts injecting these drugs into Padin’s body. But for some strange reason, he starts buying drugs from a local peddler. On the outside, Mario does not seem like the kind of man who would even think of doing anything that’s even slightly illegal. But later, through flashbacks, glimpses of his past are revealed. At first, it just seems like he has a strong sense of justice and simply hates the fact that a criminal like Padin is able to live such a pleasant life even after committing several ruthless crimes. Though it isn’t very evident at first, Mario begins to change and seems to hold some grudges against the drug cartel.
However, all of it begins to change to when he is asked to nurse Antonio Padin, one of the most renowned narcos of the region. His wife is pregnant and everything seems to be just fine. He works as a nurse at a retirement home and devotes his life to the welfare of the aged people under him. Mario initially seems like a very humble man who lives a peaceful life in the serene and calm neighborhood of the Galician coast. With what follows, all of them suffer the dire consequences of their actions. But nothing is as it seems and all it takes is one spark to set all of these characters on the wrong path. While Mario does his best to make Padin feel at home, Padin’s two sons, Kike and Tono, run the drug empire that he has built over the years. This is where he crosses paths with a nurse named Mario, who is loved by everyone.
Instead of going back to stay with his sons, he chooses to live the remaining years of his life in a retirement home. SPOILER AHEAD!Īntonio Padin is a drug cartel who seeks rest and refuses to go back to his old life after he is released from prison. So if you have already seen the film, read on further to understand all the consequential events of its storyline that lead up to its tragic and disturbing ending. Netflix’s ‘Eye for an Eye’ walks you through another compelling tale of vengeance which is mildly familiar but is hard-hitting nonetheless.
