In a small rural Catalan village, where misery and need are daily life, Oleguer, a ruthless usurer, grows rich at the expense of others' suffering. Known as 'l'Escanyapobres' (The Poor-Strangler), he takes advantage of the peasants' desperation to impose abusive loans that sink them further into poverty. However, Oleguer's fortune is not without shadows: greed and ambition make him a prisoner of his own desire for wealth. As the village struggles to survive, he locks himself in a spiral of greed.
