Durante la tormenta (2018)


Two storms separated by 25 years. A woman murdered. A daughter missed. Only 72 hours to discover the truth.

The movie is well-made, has atmosphere and some suspense, but as the story goes on, it produces with its twists so many plot holes you just can't ignore them anymore.

The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann (2019)


The story of Madeleine McCann, the young girl who went missing while on holiday in Portugal.

Extremely extensive recapitulation of the girl's missing and the media frenzy it caused offers even more questions than it resolves, including some dubious investigations, but reveals many disquieting angles to the case.

First Lines: John Le Carré - The Tailor of Panama
