From the director of El mismo amor, la misma lluvia

"Benjamin Esposito, a career long criminal court employee, has recently retired and decides to write a novel. He does not decide to make up a story. There is no need to. He can draw on his own past for a true and tragic story. In 1974, his court was more assigned an investigation into the rape and murder of a beautiful young woman. The search for the murderer is arduous. No clues remain at the scene and Esposito must rely on his own instincts. No longer an observer, he becomes an unwilling central character in a dangerous drama. As he moves forward, Esposito begins to see that it is now too late to stop. Telling the story becomes a narrow, winding path in justifying his own life and facing up to the woman who he's been in love with for 30 years." Google

The story is amazing... There is no other way to say it. No wonder why this movie won the Oscar for best foreign movie. It mixes politics with a social and psychological story, how our system can be extremely deranged if you start pushing some doors. And the characters are simply true and perfectly performed to make to believe their pain and feelings. Confession: I totally fell in love with the character of Irene Menéndez Hastings who is the judge.
