Synopsis
Northern Spain, 1870s. As the country bleeds
from the wars between liberals and Carlists,
the bodies of several women are discovered
on the outskirts of Vitoria –tortured, mutilated,
and strangled. It seems to be the work of a
serial killer. The sister of one of the victims,
determined to seek justice, is convinced that
the killer is an illiterate farmer named Juan
Díaz de Garayo. Meanwhile, the head of the
local constables races against time and the
indifference of the authorities to identify the
murderer.

Why we love it
Twenty years before the existence of Jack the
Ripper, Spain documented its �rst serial killer,
known as “The Harvester”. With meticulous
production design, this thriller reconstructs
his crimes and the relentless manhunt that
followed, set in a dark and patriarchal era
where women were especially vulnerable.
Goya-winning actors Antonio de la Torre
and Patricia López Arnaiz reunite as an
exceptional lead pair after their acclaimed
work in GLIMMERS (2024). Directed by
David Pérez Sañudo (ANE) and produced by
La Claqueta (THE ENDLESS TRENCH), this
chilling tale delves into a disturbing chapter
of European history.
