Shot during the pandemic, an air of unease pervades this engrossing thriller, Macarena Astorga’s feature directorial debut. Successful author Antonio (Javier Rey) hopes to cure a case of writer’s block with a change of scenery and moves to a remote town in Andalusia. Though he hits it off with a real estate agent (Paz Vega), most of the villagers are standoffish, wondering if this outsider could be the shape-shifting killer of legend. When a young woman is found dead, Antonio has reason to suspect a brutish local character – but the truth turns out to be stranger than fiction.
