"A drama with the soul of a thriller that encapsulates, showcases, and exudes seasoned craftsmanship, expertise, and timeless mastery."
The tenth feature film by director Gracia Querejeta, eleven-time Goya nominee and one-time winner, adapts the best-selling novel of the same name by writer and journalist Rosa Montero. A love story with touches of crime and family melodrama, where the characters’ study is the key, centering on the weight of guilt and the search for redemption. A project involving the production companies Tornasol, Oscar winner for THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES, and Trainera, responsible for the seven-time Goya winner THE REALM. Leading the cast are two undeniable stars: heartthrob Hugo Silva (SEX, PARTY AND LIES), and Megan Montaner, the lead actress of the hit series EL SECRETO DE PUENTE VIEJO and 30 COINS. The film has been selected for the official competition of the 28th Málaga Film Festival.
