Before Veronica Paco Plaza was already a basic name to understand the horror movies of our country, but this success of 2017 He only confirmed it in style. Veronica dazzled critics and the public, so that while he undertook his following projects (Who kills iron, Grandma with script of Carlos Vermouth), Plaza did not stop thinking about the possibility of returning to his universe. The key could well be in that nun they talked about in the movie, and how her past could fuel a new horror story.

That is the approach of sister death: a prequel to Veronica that looks back, towards the postwar period, when a novice with supernatural powers finds a job as a teacher in a girls’ college.
