The pain for the loss of a daughter never heals...
I saw this movie at the London Film Festival and I was impressed.
It was a case no Spaniard would ever forget. In 1992, three teenage girls from Alcàsser, Valencia, aged 14-15, disappeared one night after hitchhiking to reach a nightclub in the nearby town of Picassent, only for their bodies to be discovered two months later. Nearly thirty years after the case of the Alcàsser girls, Marc Romero revisits the story that shook a nation due to the extreme brutality of the crimes, the highly criticised police investigation, and the extensive, venal media coverage that trailed the story. With documentary-style rigour, the film steers clear of gory sensationalism or melodrama, focusing instead on the incompetence and lack of empathy with which the case was handled.
