Cannes — The ‘80s-set true-life “Fariña – Snow On the Atlantic,” the latest drama from Bambu Producciones’ Teresa Fernández Valdés turns on how humble fishermen in Galicia, North-West Spain, turned into drug lords, importing 80% of Europe’s cocaine.

Packed into the first episode are Sito’s rise to local smuggler clan overlord; a family feud; his first contacts with a Panama drug cartel; the disintegration of his marriage; a snitch’s threat of exposure.
