    • Trivia
      Director Imanol Uribe said the filming has been very hard for 9-years-old Noelia Ortega, playing Paula, especially in the scenes she shot naked near the river during one of the hardest winters that is remembered in Palencia. "We were one or two degrees below zero, next to a river. We had to protect the little girl with a cream all over its body. Even so, one suffers when shooting a sequence of those characteristics. The girl behaved wonderfully," he recalled.
    • Quotes

      Asesino: The psychiatrists say I knew what I was doing. But I don't care, I have no reason to lie anymore.Because I didn't kill her. My hands did, but I didn't. Satan took over my will. Now I can remember what my hands did without suffering. I can look at them without shame. My spirit is in peace, the Angel of the Lord has brought me the mercy of sleep. The Bible's for you.

      Inspector: How old are you?

      Asesino: 22, and you?

      Inspector: You'll be out in your thirties. And you'll do it again. Unless your God wants someone to kill you first.

      Asesino: [as Manuel is walking away] I only have to answer to the law of God!

    A new Spanish film

    Plenilunio is the third film that Imanol Uribe presents in San Sebastian film festival (the other two, "días contados" and "Bwana" won the first prize). In this mixture between drama and thriller, Uribe tries to get deep in the thoughts of an inspector, who tries to evade from the reality by his work. A case will absorb him ll the time, and he'll take it as personal. The characters are well exposed, but I think the final is quite precipitate. The character played by Juan Diego Botto is quite overacted, so the film doesn't fit very well at all.
