Overview
- The film debuted on Netflix on October 17 after a limited theatrical run on October 3 and rose to the platform’s top spot in Spain within two days, according to Spanish press.
- Written and directed by Agustín Díaz Yanes, the project premiered at the San Sebastián Festival before its awards-qualifying cinema window set by producer Juan Antonio Bayona.
- The story centers on Amaia, a Guardia Civil agent who spends over a decade undercover to identify ETA arms caches in southern France, drawing on operations that culminated in 2004’s Operación Santuario.
- Díaz Yanes has emphasized that the protagonist is invented and that the film blends fact with invention, intercutting 1990s news footage and avoiding graphic reenactments of high-profile killings.
- Susana Abaitua leads the cast with Ariadna Gil and others, the production shot across the Basque Country and the French border, and Spanish outlets such as El País and ABC have praised its craft.
