A Widow's Game (La viuda negra) 2025
"A Widow's Game," a Spanish crime drama film directed by Carlos Sedes, was released on Netflix on May 30, 2025. This true-crime thriller is based on the infamous "crime of Patraix" that occurred in Valencia, Spain, in 2017. The plot centers on the murder of Arturo Ferrer Puig, who is found stabbed to death in a parking lot. The investigation quickly focuses on his seemingly sweet and serene wife, Maje (portrayed by Ivana Baquero), who had been married to Arturo for less than a year. As veteran homicide detective Eva (Carmen Machi) delves into the case, Maje's carefully constructed facade begins to crumble, revealing a double life filled with multiple extramarital affairs. The police suspect that Maje manipulated one of her lovers, particularly Salvador "Salvo" Rodrigo Lapiedra (Tristán Ulloa), a hospital janitor and coworker, into committing the murder. The film meticulously details how phone wiretaps lead authorities to Salvo, revealing Maje's lies about Arturo's alleged abuse and her manipulation of Salvo's affections. "A Widow's Game" explores themes of deception, betrayal, and premeditated murder, offering a gripping look at a real-life crime that shocked Spain, all brought to the screen by the same creative team behind "The Asunta Case."
