Synopsis
Mist & the Maiden (La niebla y la doncella, 2017) is a Spanish crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Andrés M. Koppel from Lorenzo Silva's novel. It unfolds on La Gomera, where damp fog rolling off the hills smothers the roads as thoroughly as the case smothers the truth.
A young man's body turned up three years ago. A local politician stood trial and walked free for lack of evidence. Now Civil Guard sergeant Bevilacqua and corporal Chamorro arrive to reopen the dead inquiry, guided by corporal Anglada, one of the last people to see the victim alive. The deeper they dig, the fewer witnesses remain — and the harder their own companion is to read. Quim Gutiérrez, Verónica Echegui, Aura Garrido and Roberto Álamo lead the cast.
This is a slow, quiet investigation with no shootouts; its pull is the island's mood and the suspicion creeping between the characters. Good for viewers who like their European crime closer to Nordic noir than to Hollywood. Stream Mist & the Maiden (2017) online on iFILM.
