Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The high-speed train in the film references real Basque protests against TAV rail expansion, which activists argued served Spanish state interests over local ones. ETA dissolved in 2018, making this a post-terrorism ghost story.
Director David Pérez Sañudo deliberately avoided casting recognizable stars to maintain documentary realism; Patricia López Arnaiz had primarily done stage work before this physically demanding lead role.
