Director: Patxi Amezcua
A pandemic-era Spanish thriller sends two detectives chasing a pattern of abductions that stretches far beyond one missing person.
What is Infiesto about?
Coastal Spain turns into an unsettling hunting ground once lockdown empties its streets and leaves neighbors eyeing each other with suspicion. A single kidnapping case pulls two investigators into a chain of disappearances that seems to follow its own hidden logic of dates, routes, and quiet locals who know more than they admit. Hospitals are overwhelmed, movement is restricted, and witnesses are reluctant to leave home even to talk to police, so the detectives are forced to build their case from partial statements, grainy footage, and a deep familiarity with the region's back roads and old grudges. The health crisis itself becomes part of the machinery of the crime, isolating communities just enough that a pattern can spread unnoticed. Director Patxi Amezcua leans on empty plazas, masked faces, and the strange stillness of 2020 to keep tension high without ever raising his voice.
Cast & crew
Isak Férriz and Iria del Río lead the investigation as the two detectives, while Luis Zahera, José Manuel Poga, Antonio Buíl, and Isabel Naveira populate the small coastal town with residents who are far more watchful than they first appear.
Context & significance
The film sets its abduction plot against Spain's real 2020 confinement measures, using shuttered businesses, empty streets, and closed regional borders as more than backdrop — the isolation itself is part of what allows the pattern of disappearances to continue undetected for so long. The small-town setting adds another layer: everyone recognizes everyone, yet no one seems willing to name what they suspect, and that silence turns out to be as dangerous as the crime itself.
