Así empieza lo malo

In 1980 Madrid, university student Juan de Vere becomes the personal assistant to Eduardo Muriel, a once-celebrated film director. Juan is drawn into the unsettling dynamic between Muriel and his reclusive wife, Beatriz, and is tasked with investigating a family friend implicated in unsavory rumors. As Juan digs deeper, he uncovers more questions than answers, revealing a web of secrets surrounding Muriel's hostility, Beatriz's past, and events from the war. The story delves into the deceptions people inflict on themselves and others.
