Summer in Red

About This Movie

Summer in Red unfolds in the sweltering heat of Madrid, setting a tense atmosphere right from the start. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the details as Commissioner María Ruiz digs into the layers of this perplexing case. The crime's backdrop—a young man with no identity—creates an unsettling mystery that pulls you in deeper. The performances carry a raw edge, particularly Maria's, as she navigates a world filled with shadows and unanswered questions. There's a gritty realism in the practical effects, enhancing the film's overall tension. It’s a slow burn, sure, but it captures the essence of a city simmering under the sun, reflecting the complexity of human nature and the darkness that can lurk beneath the surface.
