The series “The Asunta Affair”, available on Netflix on April 26, 2024, traces one of the most atrocious murders to occur in Spain.
This is one of the most famous murder cases in Spain: in 2013, on a road near Santiago de Compostela, Asunta, the first Chinese child adopted in Galicia, then aged 12, was found lifeless on the side of a road. His adoptive parents, from a very privileged socio-cultural background - he is a consul, she a journalist - are quickly suspected. In November 2015, they were each sentenced to 18 years in prison, accused of having drugged the child before choking him with a rope.
Netflix has made a fictional mini-series in 6 episodes of this tragic story, available from April 26, 2024. Produced in Spain, The Asunta Affair was directed by Carlos Sedes, to whom we owe The Young Girls of the Telephone . To play the parents accused of being the executioners of their own daughter, Netflix chose Spanish actors not unknown to the public: Tristán Ulloa, seen in season 3 of Narcos and in Berlin, the spin-off of Casa de Papel. Candela Peña starred in the series Hierro, broadcast on Arte.
The body of a 12-year-old girl is discovered in a series from Galicia. The child was tied up, drugged before being suffocated. His adoptive parents, a wealthy couple from Santiago de Compostela, are suspected of having committed the irreparable.
