The Island of Lies
“Spain, 1921. A terrible shipwreck kept secret for far too long”
Galicia, northern Spain, January 2, 1921. The steamship Santa Isabel, sailing towards Argentina with more than two hundred emigrants on board, sinks off the coast of Sálvora Island. Three island women, María, Josefa and Cipriana, who have bravely set sail aboard a fragile skiff to save the shipwrecked, are treated as heroes by the cynical authorities; but León, an inquisitive and tenacious Argentinean journalist, starts asking uncomfortable questions.
A chilling, atmospheric drama that slowly unravels a dark mystery. The stark beauty of the Galician coast contrasts with simmering social tensions, creating a palpable sense of unease and suspense. It's a film that lingers, questioning heroism and the cost of truth.
