Dicen que estás muerta
On a Tuesday like any other, on the streets of Madrid a young, strangely dressed woman is murdered with a small kitchen knife. The Murderer could be anyone, but not the dead woman; she is unique, a victim, perhaps casual, perhaps not. In this story, disguised as noir, the characters try to look for the Murderer, to find out who he is, to know his motives, and yet in doing this what they achieve is to learn a little more about this mysterious woman and perhaps about themselves, as in each man there live both a potential brute and a victim, and sometimes it is necessary to be one of the two. 'Dicen que estás muerta' is a maze of passions, conflicting feelings and mystery, and characters who, in a dark and magical Madrid, move like Minotaurs through the labyrinth of Minos.
