The true story of Luck
Directed by Alejandro Amenábar, Luck is taken from graphic novel The treasure of the Black Swan, signed by Guillermo Corral and Paco Roca. The story told is based on a fact truenamely the discovery in 2007 of a galleon still intact in the waters of the Strait of Gibraltar. Finding that started a long dispute with the United States to determine which of the two states was authorized to claim ownership.
For its part, Spain made the request as the galleon was in Spanish waters, but the United States vehemently opposed. The reason was not merely territorial or principled, but economic. The found ship was still loaded with thousands of gold and silver coins. A considerable booty that neither country had any intention of letting go of.
