Koldo Almandoz (Donostia-San Sebastián, 1973), with a prolific 30-year career in cinema, has again demonstrated his own style and tendencytowards new paths. His second feature film, "Oreina" (New Directors, 2018), received the Irizar Prize for Basque Cinema, and his first work, "Sipo Phantasma" (2016), was selected in Zabaltegi-Tabakalera after being in Rotterdam.
Marian Fernandez Pascal (Pamplona, 1974) is a well-known filmmaker responsible for producing this latest work.
SYNOPSIS
Nerea Garcia is having a hard time and she's barely leaving her home in Bilbao. It's been four years since she was expelled from the Ertzaintza. When the body of a woman killed in some ritual appears, her former boss asks her to cooperate with the investigation. What Nerea doesn't suspect is that the ghosts of past and present will force her to go down to the sewers of the city, where nothing and nobody seems to be.
Nagore Aranburu will once again embody the character we met in the miniseries "Hondar Ahoak" Nerea Garcia.
