They used to beat him up in high school, now everyone runs away from him. Iván, 16, has toughened up in just two years. He has also distanced himself from the world and from his mother, Belén. Iván is obsessed with being a comic book hero and fulfilling his duty: to defeat the great villain of his life. Juan has been controlling his darkest instincts for years. He lives to work, spending all day in his taxi driving around the streets of Seville. Because he has nothing else, no family, no friends. All he has left is his faith and memories of his time as a costalero in the brotherhood. One night, Iván, who has made his own costume to hide his identity, attacks Juan, his father. However, the confrontation does not end as he thought it would. After that night, new paths and characters open up in their lives, leading to situations that will force them to face their own villains and demons, their impulses and obsessions. 'Podemos ser héroes' oscillates between drama and psychological thriller with ghostly touches. What happens when a teenager explodes in a home where hatred and loss have run rampant? Set in a Seville far removed from the tourist image, with characters fascinated by superhero comics and Holy Week, it is a work of pulp and pop, where noir, comics, and Shakespearean tragedy and its ghosts all have a place.
