I am from Bilbao, exactly from San Ignacio, where the film is shooted when Nevenka is with her boyfriend. Some of them took place next to my house, I can see nearly my street. It is also shoot in taberns from Deusto.
It is hundreds of kilometers from where the acts of the real events took place. This is a reason why I know that they don't tell you what happens. They don't dig in the plot. The Director Iciar Bollain is one of the poorest directors in Spain. When I noticed that she was doing a film from that.. I though... it is going to be not real, the things that happened with the poor Nevenka were even much more hard. We don't see the real predator that is the gobernor from his town. It was the first girl who wanted her freedom in Spain in front of a lots of people that were mad with her. She was a very brave girl that had to deal with all of these things against her. She was very corageous.
The movie doesn't give the reality to the spectaror. Everything happens very fast, vere baddly written teleplay. Bad acting. Makes me ashamed. Because I don't considere it a cinema movie. It is more a fogerttable tv movie. Good opportunity lost. I hope sometimes somebody elses makes it justice.
3 stars out of 10.
