Adapted from the acclaimed novel by Javier Castillo and published by Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, La Chica de Nieve (The Snow Girl) is one of the most popular books in Spain, selling more than a million copies. Now, the book is getting the Netflix treatment. Watch the teaser for The Snow Girl below.

In the teaser, we see a young girl crying in a yellow raincoat, accompanied by aerial shots of a parade. As with any other family, the girl’s parents ask why they must go through this horrible tragedy and question the police about their findings. This is what the series’ official synopsis says:

MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY

Like many of Javier Castillo’s books, The Snow Girl falls within the suspense genre. The author uses two timelines interspersed with each other to unveil a mystery. It is an unpredictable writing style, and many viewers can feel overwhelmed at the beginning of the journey. You cannot tell at any moment whether you are in the present or the past. Even so, these are only initial impressions when you are still unfamiliar with the characters. Later, the plot twists reveal not only the reasons behind the protagonists’ behavior but also reveal the motives of the author.

“When a little girl goes missing during a parade in Málaga, a young newspaper journalist becomes fiercely determined to help Amaya’s parents find her.”

Leading the Netflix adaptation are Jesús Mesas and Javier Andrés Roig (Deudas, Estoy vivo). The show was directed by David Ulloa (La caza. Monteperdido) and Laura Alvea (Ánimas).
