Andrew BECKER, Daniel MEHRER
A Dutch couple, Martin and Margo settle in Santoalla in northern Spain in 1997 after traveling around Europe. At first, they live a quiet life in a self-sufficient manner in this remote village where no one lives except the longtime resident Rodriguez family. However, their world starts to fall apart as they come into conflict with their neighbors and eventually take them to court, which is followed by the mysterious disappearance of Martin in January 2010. If you think it is a story about a couple going back to the farm, you are mistaken. Combining archive footage with present-day interviews, this documentary film gives you a thrill as much as a crime film does. Be prepared to indulge in this real-life mysterious case since the directors will keep you hooked through the deliberate use of time to add suspense to their directorial debut.
