Twin Murders: The Silence of the White City

• Drama
• Thriller

Set against the atmospheric backdrop of Vitoria-Gasteiz, in Spain’s Basque Country, this meticulously crafted police procedural unfolds not as a race against time, but as a haunting excavation of collective and personal trauma. Detective Unai López de Ayala, wrestling with his own deeply rooted past, investigates a series of ritualistic murders connected to a decades-old cold case and the fervor of local festivities. The film distinguishes itself through its immersion in the unique cultural context of the Basque region – its traditions, prejudices, and the weight of history – turning the city itself into a character, both beautiful and shadowed. It's a tense and contemplative thriller where the investigation slowly unravels not just the identity of a calculating serial killer, but also the silences and complicities within a tightly knit community, leaving the audience with a lingering sense of unease and the suggestion that some wounds never truly heal.
