Spain has emerged a democracy after years of Franco repression and its people are split between those excited by the prospect of freer times and those who wish things back to the way they were, a divide mirrored in the female victims of this movie's serial killer, all of whom, a police investigation reveals, dreamed of escaping a Spanish backwater but met with foul play in the remote marshlands where they felt stuck, and it is up to two cops, one a liberal campaigner and the other complicit in Franco-era secret police crimes, to work together to stop the killer.
