When the naked body of a teenage girl is found on the banks of the River Baztán, it is quickly linked to a similar murder one month before. Soon, rumours are flying in the nearby village of Elizondo. Is this the work of a ritualistic killer or is it the basajaun, the ‘invisible guardian’ of Basque mythology? Inspector Amaia Salazar leads the investigation, taking her back to the heart of the Basque country where she was born, and where she hoped never to return. Shrouded in mist and surrounded by impenetrable forests, it is a place of unresolved conflicts and a terrible secret from Amaia’s childhood that will come back to haunt her. Faced with the superstitions of the village, Amaia must fight the demons of her past to confront the reality of a serial killer on the loose. But as she is drawn deeper into the investigation, she feels the presence of something darker lurking in the shadows…

if you have read the book before, you will miss things. But the recreation of the atmosphere, the characters and the spaces is wonderful. This director always manages to recreate very well that in his movies.
liked the setting, the silence of the lambs in Navarre, as they say, the resolution, not so much
What happened with the young nurse that was disfigured by the mother of Amaia? Did she survive the attack? Was she compensated for having to live the rest of her life with a molested face with junks of flesh missing? Anything in the book about it?
I really enjoyed this movie. A dark and sinister serial killer on the loose. Young girls go missing and an FBI trained cop is on the killer's trail. Family envolvmet, dark History in her home town, and a bitch of a mother doesn't make our Detective's job any easier. Worth a watch as part 1 of a trilogy. :thumbsup_tone1: Note, it rain's all the way through the movie, adds to the darkness and bleakness of the setting. Worth a watch. Looking forward to the next 2 in the Trilogy. :thumbsup_tone1:
The invisble guardian knocked at my door but I couldn't see him.
