Our take
A Netflix true-crime film about a real Spanish murder case, rated MA 15+. Stabbing murder, adultery, a police investigation and emotional manipulation lead the story, with little splatter. Most English-speaking families will need subtitles.
Uplifting themes
Justice and police persistence offer a moral frame
Story (may spoil tone)
