- EXTENDED SYNOPSIS
En el año 2000, Nevenka Fernández, de 24 años, concejala de Hacienda en el Ayuntamiento de Ponferrada, sufre una persecución implacable, tanto sentimental como profesional, por parte del alcalde, un hombre acostumbrado a hacer su voluntad en lo político y en lo personal. Nevenka decide denunciar, aunque sabe que deberá pagar un precio muy alto: su entorno no la apoya, la sociedad de Ponferrada le da la espalda y los medios la someten a un juicio público.
Su caso inicia en España el movimiento #metoo mucho antes de que se invente el término. Una historia inspirada en hechos reales que convierte a su protagonista en una pionera al llevar por primera vez a un político influyente y popular ante los tribunales por acoso sexual y laboral.

Nevenka Fernández was 23 years old when she started working at the City Council of Ponferrada, a small Spanish city. She was young, beautiful and full of dreams. But the mayor, accustomed to exercising his power, was immediately infatuated with her. Instead of putting up with it, Nevenka stood up and she faced her entire city, the media and the public opinion of a whole country who chose to pigeonhole her and spoke of her as a calculating exploiter, questioning her intimate life and behavior and undermined her dignity. Despite all this controversy, Nevenka Fernández obtained the first conviction for sexual harassment of a politician in Spain in 2002. (Film Factory Entertainment)
