A Widow's Game

On 16 August 2017, engineer Antonio Navarro Cerdán was brutally murdered when he was stabbed multiple times in a garage in Patraix, Valencia. His body was discovered in the parking lot, raising immediate concerns among the police about foul play.

Detective Eva is assigned to investigate the homicide case of Antonio, known to the public as Arturo. Her keen instincts lead her to quickly focus on the grieving widow, Maje, and a male accomplice after initial investigations suggest foul play.

Maje, the widow of Arturo, appears devastated at her husband's murder and joins her coworkers in the hospital. However, as the police begin their investigation, they find inconsistencies in her story, leading them to suspect her involvement in the crime.

Through flashbacks, it is revealed that Maje had cheated on Arturo before their marriage with a man named Andre. Her friend's commentary about Arturo's controlling nature further suggests that Maje's infidelity played a part in their tumultuous relationship.

As Eva delves deeper into the investigation, it's evident that Maje is leading a double life. By day, she presents herself as a dutiful wife, while by night she engages in a promiscuous lifestyle filled with parties and affairs, including one with a man named Daniel.

Arturo becomes suspicious of Maje's behavior as she continues to attend parties and interact with other men. Their marriage deteriorates, culminating in a confrontation where Arturo demands Maje leave upon discovering a message from Daniel.

Feeling vulnerable and abandoned, Maje seeks solace with another man, Salva, who works alongside her at the hospital. In a moment of emotional manipulation, she tests Salva's devotion by asking him if he would kill her husband, revealing her sociopathic tendencies.

Maje cunningly shows Salva the parking garage where Arturo regularly parks. She discusses the timing of Arturo’s arrival, further ensnaring Salva in her manipulative web as she incites him to act upon her darkest desires.

Following the murder, Salva is consumed by guilt and uncertainty, questioning his relationship with Maje. His emotional turmoil is exacerbated when he learns Maje is still in contact with Daniel, complicating his feelings toward her.

Detective Eva employs a tactical approach by informing Maje that the police are close to capturing her husband's killer. This announcement leads Maje to panic, culminating in her calling Salva in desperation, showcasing her fear of being caught.

In a bid to extricate herself from the situation, Maje begins to accuse Salva of being obsessed with her. This drastic turn of events reveals her manipulative character and her willingness to sacrifice others to save herself.

As the police methodically piece together evidence, they identify both Maje and Salva as suspects in the murder case. Their subsequent arrests solidify the theory that the two were complicit in the homicide plot.

Maje and Salva are brought to court to face charges for the murder of Arturo. The trial delves into their complex relationship and motivations, providing a gripping account of betrayal and greed as they plead their cases.

The film concludes with a tribute to the real-life police officer who lost his life in the line of duty while investigating a separate case. This poignant moment reinforces the film's connection to real events and honors those who serve in law enforcement.

Final footage of the actual court case is shown, alongside updates on what happened to each character in real life. The film closes by highlighting the tragic circumstances surrounding the events, leaving audiences with a sense of reflection on the lives affected.
