Death in León

Leon, 12th of May 2014. Isabel Carrasco, the president of the provincial government of Leon, is murdered in broad daylight. Feared and hated for her autocratic rule, many people wanted her dead. Two women, mother and a daughter, were quickly arrested. The following day, a local policewoman, handed in the murder weapon and she too was arrested. All three were charged with murder.

Seven years before the crime, Isabel Carrasco comes to power in León and Triana begins to work in the provincial council. The relationship between the two is very good until one day, everything changes. Triana reveals the reason for this: she rejected Isabel's sexual advances. Isabel uses her influence to damage her career for years. Monteserrat decides that the only solution is to kill Isabel.

No one understands the involvement of the local policewoman, Raquel Gago. The prosecution is convinced that she was part of the plan, but she maintains her innocence. The defence calls up two police inspectors as witnesses. They are accused of misleading the defendants. Suspicions emerge surrounding the police investigation which had been heavily politicized. The jury goes out to deliberate.

The jury finds the three defendants guilty of murder. The prosecutor's case wins. Isabel Carrasco's memory becomes increasingly distant; no one wants to look back. The three defendants are pinning all of their hopes on the Supreme Court. At the last minute, the filmmakers discover something that was never investigated by the police. A political shadow hangs over the investigation once again.
