SPA25 I Am Nevenka

From acclaimed filmmaker Icíar Bollaín (Maixabel, Rosa’s Wedding) I am Nevanka is a taut, gripping drama about consent and structures of power. Inspired by the true case of Nevenka Fernández, considered the first #metoo case in the country, her story marked a pivotal point in the history of Spanish workplace relations.

Young, beautiful and full of dreams, Nevenka Fernández (a magnetic Mireia Oriol) is 23 years old when she starts working at the City Council of Ponferrada. The Mayor (Urko Olazabal), a man accustomed to getting his own way professionally and personally, quickly becomes infatuated with her.

Faced with his inappropriate behaviour, Nevanka stands up to her superior and decides to report him, resulting in a court case. Facing the media, her city and public opinion of a country who questioned her intimate life and behaviour, she faces a fight against the odds. Despite the controversy that captivated Spain, Nevanka’s 2002 campaign for justice would set a precedent for future cases.
