What A Ghost in Battle is about, the production that Netflix incorporated
A ghost in battle follows the life of Amaia, played by Susana Abaitua, a young civil guard who takes on the difficult task of infiltrate ETA. For more than ten years he has worked under covert cover, with the aim of identifying and dismantling hiding places that house weapons, explosives and terrorist logistics.
The film extends beyond the clandestine life to also explore the moral dilemmas, personal tensions and psychological toll borne by someone who must live a double life. The story intertwines the operational tension of the anti-terrorist fight with human relationships, identity, fear and perseverance, framed in a country (Spain) that has been living with the legacy of ETA’s violent actions, the political consequences and painful memory.
