Ivana Baquero, Tristán Ulloa and Carmen Machi Star In 'A Widow's Game'

Netflix has unveiled today the first images of A Widow's Game, the film based on the story of the well-known case of “the black widow of Patraix”.

Actress Ivana Baquero is in charge of giving life to María Jesús Moreno Cantó, better known as Maje, while Tristán Ulloa plays Salva in this new film by Bambú Producciones (The Asunta Case, The Alcasser Murders) for Netflix. Carmen Machi completes the main cast of this new project directed by Carlos Sedes that started shooting a few weeks ago in Valencia.

August 2017. In a parking lot in Valencia appears the body of a man, stabbed seven times. Everything points to a crime of passion. The homicide group of the city, with a veteran inspector at the head, starts an investigation against the clock that soon leads them to a suspect that no one expected: Maje, the young widow, sweet and serene, who had been married to the victim for less than a year. 

Ramón Campos, executive producer of the project, comments on the project: “Why does a person consider that it is better to commit a murder than to get divorced?  This was the question that assailed me when I first read the news about Maje and Salvador's crime. Over the years we have been trying to unravel the answer and we think we have understood, but not understood, why Maje decided to manipulate Salvador to murder a person who was undoubtedly a good person. Because this film is not about the victim. It is about the murderers.  Because sometimes the answer to our actions lies not in who we are, but where we come from.”
