EL FACTOR PILGRIM

One upon a time... there were four young men: a Spanish, a Swedish, an Italian and a British, a one-pound business deal that ends up becoming a one hundred thousand pound business deal, and a legend: The Legend of David Pilgrim. This is the basic idea behind The Pilgrim Factor, a story half-way between a comedy and a tale, about anonymous characters who accidentally happen to come across something that could prove doubtful the autenticity of the world's famous rock group: The Beatles. All this take place right in the center of Chicken Town (London) a city where everything is possible. Even a story like this one.

"Many people leave their hometowns and head for London in order to find a place in a city where nobody stares at you, regardless of what you're doing. From that moment on, such people become part of a multinational hamburger chain as Store Managers, if they speak English, or scrubbing floors, if they don't. In less than two months, they forget why they came to London although they seem to remember it had something to do with learning English. We tried to make a film about people like that" (Santi Amodeo, Alberto Rodríguez).
