Plot

In 1980, Madrid homicide detectives Pedro Suárez and Juan Robles are sent to a "backwater" town on the Guadalquivir Marshes in Spain's "Deep South" to investigate the disappearance of two teenage sisters (Carmen and Estrella) during the town's festivities. Pedro, openly critical of Spain's past during the Francoist Dictatorship, has a problem with authority figures, while Juan seems not to care, though he has a troubled past of his own.
