If you have noticed one thing about the Spanish series, it would be the extremely organized puzzling plot; thus, they never stop searching. Netflix contains some really good Spanish thrillers like “High Seas,” “The Five Juanas,” “Cable Girls,” “Who Killed Sara,” and so on. “The Snow Girl” showed up in the bookstore in 2020, written by none other than the seasoned author Javier Castillo. What makes the writer different from others is his writing style, which is erratic, and the readers starting out may feel intimidated since they never know whether they are in the past or in the present. But once you are familiar enough with all the characters, you will get to know the bolts from the blue and the intentions behind such an intriguing plot.
‘The Snow Girl’ Plot
Javier Castillo’s earlier publications, like “The day that sanity was lost” and “The day that love was lost,” pushed him to popularity. “The Snow Girl” is his fourth novel, which started to construct its visual representation under Netflix. The Spanish hosted a grand parade called the “Thanksgiving Day Parade” to welcome the Kings of the Orient, which gives the city a magical and fanciful outlook with lots of gifts. On such a day in Malaga, 2010—call it the most wonderful time of the year with a festive mood—the Martin family is faced with a sobering reality when their young daughter Amaya Martin disappears among the crowd. In the teaser, a little child in a yellow raincoat is shown crying through the drone footage of a parade. Inspector Millán (Aixa Villagrán), in charge of the investigation, may be tempted to quit looking for Amaya. The unpredictable plot will be keenly observed by Miren (Milena Smit), a young journalist who is adamantly resolved to move forward with her search even though doing so may let old evils back in. With time, people started to believe that the girl no longer existed in the world. With the assistance of her journalist friend Eduardo, Miren is devoted to locating Amaya taking the help of a few clues and with the goal of reconciling the family. Sometimes, while looking for anything, we might reach the point where we encounter something we were not even looking for. What if, in search of Amaya, Miren also starts recalling her past that she wishes she hadn’t looked back on? Like any other parents, Martin’s family questions the authority about the disappearance, as shown in the teaser, like how long it would take to find her out or why they were forced to endure such a horrific loss. But with problems comes a solution; all it needs is a little more willpower and faith. The hint of the VHS tape and the room could be helpful to Miren. The inspection of the kid is held amidst the constant cries of a woman’s voice, “Amaya!” with a dogged reminder of the clock ticking in the backdrop throughout the teaser. Hope is the only thing Miren is clinging to, so she whispers that someone has to continue searching for Amaya.
