Caso cerrado

Isabel and Cesar marry according to Jewish rite, blending two family worlds. He is the head of a banking firm, while she works in a bookstore run by her mother in law. Happiness quickly tightens its grip as Cesar uncovers financial irregularities at the bank. What begins as a routine inquiry into managerial charges evolves into a criminal accusation against him, a twist complicated by Cesar being in France to avoid conscription. The couple must decide how to face an impersonal system that could ruin them both. The drama tracks the pressure of money, religion, and duty on a modern marriage, turning a domestic romance into a tense examination of integrity under scrutiny. The film stays focused on emotional toll.

Produced and directed in 1985 by Juan Caño Arecha and Gonzalo Goicoechea, Caso cerrado presents an original screenplay from its two creators. Marisol stars as Isabel with Patxi Bisquert in the role of Cesar, anchoring the film's emotional center throughout.
