Film Overview

Original Title: La infiltrada
English Title: Undercover

Director/co-writer Arantxa Echevarría and actress Carolina Yuste (2018’s “Carmen & Lola”) reunite for this nail-biting thriller, following the real-life National Police officer who infiltrated ETA—the Basque separatist group—and lived among them for eight years. Nominated for 18 Goya Awards, including Best Film, Director, and Lead Actress.After several years undercover, lurking in the circles of the Abertzale left pretending to be a young sympathizer of the ETA terrorist group, a police officer finally gets the chance she’s been gunning for: ETA gets in touch with her. They need to use her apartment for two ETA members, whose objective is to prepare several attacks. The most difficult mission of her life begins now—to inform her superiors while cohabitating with two terrorists, who, if at any point suspect her, would kill her at the drop of a hat.
