Malos tiempos para el país

A serial killer, the ups and downs of the oil market, Roger Moore playing James Bond, punk, strikes and riots, IRA attacks, the dying Labor government devoured by conservatives who are already clearing the ground for the Lady of Iron... It's the seventies. These are bad times for the country. Yorkshire County, 1976. Several women, mostly prostitutes, are being brutally murdered. At the forefront of the case -with her everlasting Ray Ban, "Richard Burton grimace" and an already legendary service record- is George Knox. Aided by young detective Mark Burstyn, he will give himself heart and soul to the investigation, convinced that all these crimes are related to each other and are the work of a single author. However, with each new attack the accumulated evidence seems to crumble and, the more time passes, the more Knox sinks into the abyss. A chasm widened by government chaos and economic depression that threaten to completely disintegrate British society ... These are bad times for the country. Based on the real case of the Yorkshire Ripper, Michaël Mention constructs a monumental portrait of the disoriented England of the 1970s -that "sick man of Europe"-, in crisis due to the failure of Labor and, embodied in the figure of the iron Margaret Thatcher, by the rise of the conservative movement.
