The three-part series arrives with a final provincial appeal still pending in the high-profile case.

Overview

  • Netflix released the first trailer on October 29 and confirmed a worldwide launch on November 13.
  • Directed by Martín Rocca and produced by Alejandra Sarmiento with Fábula, the series runs three episodes of roughly 45–50 minutes.
  • The production weaves archival footage with new testimonies from the victim’s parents and friends, some of the convicted men and their families, journalists, and judicial and police figures.
  • It reconstructs the January 18, 2020 killing in Villa Gesell, an attack captured on video that preceded five life sentences and three 15-year terms issued in February 2023.
  • The debut comes as the Buenos Aires provincial Supreme Court reviews a final appeal, following casation confirmations and the national Supreme Court’s rejection of a federal remedy in September.
