Patrick’s plans to get some peace goes downhill when he sees a group of men partying in the neighbourhood cabin. They lure in into partying with them and give him lots of drugs and drinks. Patrick loses control over his emotions and faces the truth about the life he’s been running from since childhood. It has something to do with his sister Mencía (Martina Cariddi).
Netflix’s Elite Short Stories: Patrick is one of the best short stories to release so far. We get to know a lot about Patrick and why he is the way he is. It’s meaningful, and the ending changes the dynamics of the Blanco family. We also learn that Ari is still recovering from the attack. No wonder she had no time to contact Samuel during the Christmas holidays.
Actor Manu Ríos has done an incredible job as Patrick Blanco. As an arrogant teenager or a scared and caring brother, Manu gives a good performance. Actors Diego Martin, Carla Díaz and Martina Cariddi also play their parts well.
