Hysteria

A YOUNG WOMAN IN THE WRONG PLACE

Madrid, December 1978. The capital has become a new city, a place where you can be whoever you want to be. That is how Marta Beltrán sees it. A young student who dreams of becoming a bass player, her life changes when she accidentally witnesses a gangland killing that threatens to destroy everything.

TWO DETECTIVES FACING THEIR TOUGHEST CASE

While the Central Brigade focuses its efforts on the high-profile hunt for a serial killer, two of its detectives follow the trail of blood that only Marta knows about, one that will unleash a war in the criminal underworld for which no one is prepared.

A CITY IN THE GRIP OF HYSTERIA

Through a breakneck thriller and an exceptional puzzle of interwoven storylines, José Manuel del Río takes us into the darkest corners of Spain’s transition to democracy: a world where violence hid in plain sight and where it was often almost impossible to distinguish good from evil, a mistake from an atrocity.
