The story centers on Patricia (played by Blanca Portillo), a high-profile defense attorney accustomed to navigating the intricacies of the courtroom. Her life is upended when her young son, Víctor—who is deaf and mute—is found wandering a country road in a state of shock.
Director Mar Targarona utilizes a cold, clinical visual palette that reflects Patricia’s professional world, contrasting it with the raw, chaotic energy of the criminal underworld she enters.

The 2016 Spanish film Boy Missing (Spanish: Secuestro ), directed by Mar Targarona, is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the lengths a parent will go to protect their child when the legal system fails. While the film begins as a standard procedural drama regarding a missing child, it rapidly evolves into a complex web of moral ambiguity, vigilantism, and the unintended consequences of bypassing the law.
As a lawyer, Patricia represents the legal system, yet she is the first to abandon it when it fails her personally. The film examines the hypocrisy and desperation that emerge when the "civilized" structures of society cannot provide immediate security.
Like many "parent-in-peril" thrillers, the film uses the primal drive of motherhood as the catalyst for the plot. It asks the audience at what point "protecting your child" becomes an excuse for indefensible violence.
