Description
“Cops, Nazis, murder and conspiracy – Oscar Aibar mixes motifs from pulp and genre with a classical mise-en-scène and political-historical analysis.” (Internationales Filmfestival Mannheim-Heidelberg)
Spain 1982, the country is still wounded by the Franco era. Burnt out by his work in the underbelly of Madrid, a young police officer accepts a job in a small town, accompanied by his family. Once there, he becomes involved in the investigation into the mysterious death of his predecessor. His inquiry leads him to a group of suspicious German retirees. A beautifully-filmed, fast-paced thriller.
