Agent Zeta

What it’s about

Four former Spanish intelligence officers are assassinated at the same moment in different countries. The CNI connects them to Operation Ciénaga, a covert mission in Colombia decades ago. Zeta, the agency's top operative, is tasked with hunting down and protecting the sole remaining participant. He is joined by Alfa, a Colombian agent who appears to know more about Ciénaga's secrets than he does.

What hooks you

Dani de la Torre directs Mario Casas as Zeta and Mariela Garriga as Alfa. The screenplay is by Oriol Paulo and Jordi Vallejo. The film is part of the Zeta collection.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who like spy stories where old secrets resurface and no ally can be fully trusted. It will appeal to those who enjoy a disheartening tone and a chase that spans several countries.
