  Unbridled (Spanish: Animales sin collar) is a 2018 Spanish-Italian thriller film directed by Jota Linares [es] in his feature film debut which stars Natalia de Molina alongside Daniel Grao. It is a sort of transfer of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House to a contemporary Andalusian setting.
  
  ## Plot
  
  Set in Andalusia, the plot concerns about the arrival to regional power of Abel, a fresh face with a modest background, helming the up-and-coming political party Pueblo Unido. Against the backdrop of Abel's imminent investiture, a loan taken out in the past by Abel's wife Nora to help her husband without consulting with him, comes to haunt her whilst a person from their past, Víctor (the privileged son of a corrupt former Junta de Andalucía high-ranking official and former acquaintance of the couple) comes into action.
