Our take

A young agent walks away from her ordinary life to infiltrate ETA and hunt terrorist hideouts in the south of France in this MA 15+ film. Close-range shootings show blood, and archival attack footage plus murder reports from the era cut through the story. Angry undercover stretches bring the f-word and harsh insults; kissing and flirtation appear without nudity or explicit sex. Drinking and smoking run through the long mission years, and kidnapping talk plus gun threats keep the cover story tense. ClearAge puts it around MA 15+ for mature older teens and adults.

Uplifting themes

Duty and peace keep getting weighed against years of ordinary living given up for undercover work. That opens talk about loyalty, sacrifice, and the human cost of political violence Under pressure, Amaia holds discipline and loyalty even when the mission strains every personal bond. Quiet courage carries those long undercover years

Story (may spoil tone)

A young agent leaves everything behind to pose as a member of ETA, risking her life to uncover the terrorists' hideouts in the south of France.

Close-range shootings leave blood on screen, and archival ETA attacks plus murder reports from the era cut into the narrative. The violence stays frequent and realistic, without stylised action thrills

When the undercover mission goes wrong, angry scenes bring the f-word and harsh insults. Strong swearing clusters in those spikes. It never runs wall-to-wall through the whole film

Kissing and flirtation show up along the mission path. Nudity and explicit sex stay off screen. Nothing graphic appears in that part of the story

Across the long undercover years, drinking and cigarette smoking show up as everyday habit. Alcohol and smoking appear often enough to notice. There is no hard-drug storyline

Years of living undercover inside ETA bring kidnapping talk, gun threats, and fear of exposure. Real-world terrorism supplies the dread that hangs over those years

Gunshot wounds appear in close shots with blood, and talk covers hidden corpses plus throat or head shots beside weapons caches. Injury detail travels with the shootings, well past distant gunfire alone

Funeral-home details and a mother's death surface during the mission, adding a quieter mourning thread. Loss is not the whole film. It still sits inside the espionage story
