Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival comes to the GCP with this Basque crime thriller from director Arantxa Echevarría.

Based on the real-life story of Aranzazu Berradre Marín, the pseudonym for the only

police officer in Spanish history to successfully infiltrate ETA, the Basque-nationalist

terrorist group. Undercover, she lurks in ETA-affiliated circles. Suddenly, the

unimaginable happens - ETA contacts her, requesting her to be an accomplice in the

preparation of oncoming attacks. What ensues is an experience nobody could have

prepared her for, and the film undertakes these complex, polemic issues, exploring

both the political history of the terrorist group and this woman’s sacrifice for her role

in helping dismantle them.

Content warning: Contains scenes depicting murder, physical and verbal

violence, verbal misogyny and strong emotional distress.
