Her husband, Marco (Guillermo Pfening), will join them when he can get away from work. “I spend half my time calculating that distance,” says Amanda (María Valverde), a delicate, ethereal beauty who has brought her sweet-faced daughter, Nina (Guillermina Sorribes), about 6, from Spain to a place Amanda’s Argentine father described to her as a kind of paradise. The book’s original Spanish title refers to the “rescue distance” required, according to one of those mothers, to keep her child safe. In Fever Dream, a story of two parallel mothers whose lives become entwined, the breezes are laced with menace as one family’s holiday escape to an idyllic spot turns into an unfathomable nightmare.
