Argentina , Spain Production inspired by actual deeds , dealing with a series of cruel kiddies killings spreading throughout 1912 Buenos Aires . It stars a 10-year-old little boy called Mateo who has murder visions , as his mind takes him eerie records and becomes the main witness to the grisly killings ; he is well cared by his mummy Stella : Maribel Verdu .Meanwhile , his mother tries to demonstrate his innocence , and the Police Inspector , Commissario Petrie : Daniel Freire and the skeptic forensic Doctor Soria : Chete Lera attempt to hunt down the series killer who is executing a criminal spree and hopefully find out clear explanations about the supernatural conduct of the weird little boy .

Acceptable suspense movie with an interesting script based on actual events and about "Murder Visions" , a common issue treated on Hollywood pictures .
