A young female local politician dares to stand up against a popular mayor in Icíar Bollaín’s award-winning, intensely provocative drama about Spain's first #MeToo case.

After her multiple Goya-winning Maixabel, Icíar Bollaín (Rosa’s Wedding, GFF 2021) returns with the story of Nevenka Fernández, the first woman in Spain to take a powerful politician to court for sexual assault. It’s 2002, and Nevenka’s political career takes off when she gains the city’s mayor as a mentor. When he, a powerful man used to getting his way, insists on more than just a professional relationship, it becomes difficult to resist. Bollaín closely follows Nevenka, effectively blending social drama, thriller, and psychological horror. She explores the grey areas and the cost of standing up to powerful men, a noisy media, and public opinion in an entire country.
