🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Pilar Miró constructs a relentless procedural, exploring the corrupt mechanisms of state power and the fragility of truth. The film relies on a stark, factual approach to dissect a judicial scandal, building tension through the systematic breakdown of two innocent men.

What lingers after the credits is a profound unease about the abuse of authority. This is a sobering excavation of a historical injustice that refuses to offer easy consolation. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Pilar Miró
