Why we chose it

One woman, only just over twenty when she started, infiltrated the Basque terrorist group ETA, and Carolina Yuste plays her in a political thriller that doesn’t waste a minute. It’s cool, tense and stripped to the bone, and it became the biggest box-office hit ever directed by a Spanish woman.

Synopsis

In San Sebastián in the late 1990s, nobody knows that Mónica is a police officer. She has lived under a false name for years, cut off from her family, and has spent so long convincing ETA of her loyalty that they finally believe her. Then two of its members need somewhere to hide for the night, and she happens to have an empty flat.
