Synopsis

When the body of a teenage girl is discovered naked on the banks of the River Baztán, it is swiftly connected to a similar murder that occurred a month earlier. Rumors quickly spread through the nearby village of Elizondo, raising questions about whether the killings are the work of a ritualistic murderer or the basajaun, a mythical "invisible guardian" of Basque folklore. Inspector Amaia Salazar is assigned to the case, leading her back to the Basque country of her birth, a place she had hoped never to return to. Veiled in mist and encircled by dense forests, the region is marked by unresolved tensions and a traumatic childhood secret that threatens to resurface. As Amaia confronts the village's deep-rooted superstitions and battles the ghosts of her past, she must face the reality of a serial killer at large. Yet, as the investigation deepens, she begins to sense a more sinister presence lurking in the shadows.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
