Synopsis

In 1945, in a train station in Bogotá, a dead girl is found in a trunk. Nobody knows who the girl is nor who killed her. Detective Corzo takes on the high-profile case. While dodging sensationalist newspaper reporter Hipolito, Corzo turns to bartender Martina for help finding clues.

Our take

This detective story set in 1945 portrays the local life of Bogotá, playing with the tropes of the genre to explore the diverging interests and goals between a police investigation, and the media’s thirst for a story. The case instigates a swirling chase involving characters both savvy and charming.
