La Trilogía de Leenane

Esta apasionante saga dramática se adentra en los rincones más oscuros de la psicología humana y la dinámica familiar, ambientada en el austero paisaje de la Irlanda rural. La serie explora magistralmente las complejidades del amor, la obsesión y la manipulación con un realismo escalofriante. Cada narrativa desentierra verdades devastadoras sobre vidas vividas en los márgenes, donde el anhelo de conexión choca con el poder destructivo del pasado. Es una representación penetrante e inquietante que deja una huella duradera.
