Malnazidos It is told during the Spanish Civil War, which was characterized by lasting months with bloody combat that left thousands dead in the trenches. In this production you will meet Jan Lozano, a captain of the fifth brigade of the national side, who falls prisoner along with a young soldier when a group of republicans (his enemies) surround them in the woods.

Start of the story

In a town in the Spanish mountains in the midst of the Civil War, a group of Nazi soldiers arrive at a wedding and, led by an officer of the Waffen-SS (elite combat corps), shoot all the inhabitants and then spread a strange blue gas. Meanwhile, on the other hand, in a fascist base, Captain Jan Lozano is about to be shot for assaulting a judge, but he is saved thanks to his uncle, General Lozano, who intervenes at the last moment to give him an assignment: to cross the mountains with the mission of delivering a letter to Colonel Alarcos, in charge of the sixth company located on the other side of the mountain.

But Captain Jan Lozano will not go alone, he is assigned a deserting soldier named Pablo Decruz to accompany him. On their journey together, the two see soldiers from the enemy side circle the mountain on their way and later witness a plane of theirs being shot down. So, in an attempt to save the pilot, the two are caught by members of the Republican Party.

Having found the pilot dead, at that moment one of the republicans is attacked by the apparently dead aviator, and then he gets up and tries to ram them all, so they have to kill him by shooting him in the head as well. They both turned into zombies.

Later, when they arrive at the base they find it destroyed and full of corpses that begin to rise and attack them, so the group flees across the lake, planning to go to another isolated hideout; but upon reaching the next shore, one of them is killed by other villagers already infected.

When the remaining ones finally reach the hideout, they agree to help each other and survive, so they flee to the nearest town.
