COUNTRY IN FOCUS SPAIN presents THE SPANISH CONNECTION: 4 Series Pitches
Berlinale Industry Events
Access: Market Badge

TRUE NORTH
An Egyptian refugee gets a job at a catering company owned by two Scandinavian sisters with a relationship of co-dependence and sibling abuse. When a dark secret from the sisters' past is revealed, the three women find themselves in a destructive power play fighting to gain control of each other, and their lives.
DARK WATERS (Original title: AIGÜES DE FOSCOR)
Arnau, a forest ranger in the Ebro Delta, finds the corpse of a woman who has the same unusual birthmark he and his daughter share. This discovery forces him to confront his past, unveiling a supernatural mystery that will endanger their lives and challenge his perception of reality
THE WHEEL
A corpse appears in a public park, made up of four different body parts sewn together. Irene, in the course of her investigation, discovers that the different corpses have been murdered by different people. During the investigation, she finds those responsible and realizes that all the suspects have received a large amount of money in exchange for the murder. There is someone orchestrating the crime. The identity of one of the body parts will establish a link between this case and that of Little Red Riding Hood, in which Irene was the victim of a kidnapping in 1999. The resolution of the case will bring her into contact with old, apparently closed wounds, and will end up making her cross the threshold from victim to executioner.
PINK NOISE
A group of outrageous women from history, led by Marie Curie, reappears in a dystopian world ruled by human-eating cats — formerly adorable and funny memes, stickers, or viral videos — and they organize themselves to fight against them from the clandestine depths of the deep web.
This event will take place at CinemaxX 3.
