She Walks in Darkness
Spanish film by Agustín Díaz Yanes (2025)
She Walks in Darkness (Spanish: Un fantasma en la batalla, lit. 'A ghost in the battle') is a 2025 Spanish political thriller film directed by Agustín Díaz Yanes starring Susana Abaitua.
Plot
The plot follows Amaia, a Guardia Civil agent going undercover for years within the ETA ranks seeking to crack the location of the group's multiple weapons caches (zulos) scattered in southern France.
Cast
Production
Written by Agustín Díaz Yanes, the premise of She Walks in Darkness is similar to Arantxa Echevarría's Undercover (2024), which wrapped shooting some weeks before the intended beginning of the filming of She Walks in Darkness, although Echevarría's film follows closer the biography of Elena Tejada, while Díaz Yanes' film is more of an amalgam of stories of multiple Spanish law enforcement agents. The greenlight of a second film under such circumstances is not usual in Spanish cinema. Shooting locations included Gipuzkoa and Iparralde. The film is a Basoilarraren Filmak production. Paco Femenía worked as cinematographer.
Release
The film was presented at the 73rd San Sebastián International Film Festival on 24 September 2025. It received a theatrical release in Spain on 3 October 2025 by Tripictures, followed by a streaming release on Netflix on 17 October 2025.
Reception
Luis Martínez of El Mundo rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, considering that, just like Undercover, it is an excellent story perfectly coherent with its intentions.
