The Dead Woman From The Way Of St. James - 2025 - 6/10
AKA - Der Galicien-Krimi: Die Tote vom Jakobsweg
The corpse washes ashore, thrown from the cliff, carried by the tide.
Lungs filled with freshwater indicate murder.
The new chief is from Valencia, far rougher than Santiago, pilgrimage destination.
And yes, although there are murders, blackmail, lies, this mystery is steeped in religion.
Imagery, proverbs, character backgrounds, turistas, vocations.
German production takes a page from French mysteries via photography.
Mind you, this is set in Spain, characters have Spanish names, yet German is spoken.
