Critics :

“A milestone in Basque fiction.” ARGIA

“A magnificent series.” LA VANGUARDIA

“Koldo Almandoz directs this art-house police thriller that is subtly brilliant, has an industrial ambience and an inspector who, like any great character, is a mystery unto to herself. […] Every aesthetic decision makes ‘Mouths of Sand’ a very unique piece of work.” EL PAIS

“A very well concocted and aesthetically attractive police thriller, that is just as good, if not better, than many of the things we see on our screens.” DIARIO VASCO
