Marshland Plot Summary

What happens in Marshland from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Two Madrid homicide detectives, Raúl Arévalo and Javier Gutiérrez, are dispatched in 1980 to a backwater town on the Guadalquivir Marshes, a remote pocket of Spain’s Deep South, to investigate the disappearance of two teenage sisters, Carmen and Estrella, during the town’s festivities.

Pedro Suárez, openly critical of Spain’s Francoist past and distrustful of authority, clashes with the local power structure, while Juan Robles appears more detached but carries a troubled history of his own.

Rodrigo, Antonio de la Torre, the riverboat skipper, and Rocío, Nerea Barros, tell the detectives that their daughters were ordinary, even as the police describe them as promiscuous; Rocío also hands over a burnt film reel that shows the girls naked in bed with a man whose face is obscured by a flash.
