Plot

Sara, labelled Cerdita by bully Maca and her friends Roci and Claudia, is an overweight teenage girl living in a small town in Extremadura.

During the summer, Sara decides to visit the local swimming pool, only to be discovered by the three bullies, who steal her backpack and clothes. While walking home, she is harassed by a group of men and escapes onto a side road, where she sees a parked van which, initially unbeknownst to her, an unnamed man is using to kidnap her bullies. Claudia appears through the window, begging Sara to save her but Sara stands by in fear as the kidnapper locks gazes with her and silently leaves her towel before driving off. Sara returns home, deciding not to tell anyone about what happened.

News reaches town that the pool’s lifeguard has been found dead, and the waitress has gone missing, along with the three girls. Sara is questioned by both her mother Asun and the local Civil Guard but denies having been at the pool that afternoon. She realises she can track her mobile phone, which the girls had stolen, to determine the whereabouts of the bullies.

She steals her father’s phone and ventures into the forest, where she locates her backpack and phone. She has a second encounter with the kidnapper, who warns her to be quiet and displays affection toward her before escaping. Family members of the missing girls, including Claudia’s mother Elena, undertake their own investigation in the forest, during which they find the body of the missing waitress.

Pedro, a friend of the missing girls, introduces Sara to marijuana and reveals that he knows she was lying about not being at the pool. The townspeople suspect him to be responsible for the disappearance, and Sara promises to disclose what she saw if he is arrested. A hysterical Elena attacks Sara before Pedro reveals her truth to the crowd. Sara is taken in by the Civil Guard for questioning and begins to tell them the information she has, but the sudden onset of her period prevents further interrogation.

Unbeknownst to Sara and Asun, the kidnapper has come to their home and attacked Sara’s father. Sara and Asun have a heated argument, during which the kidnapper incapacitates Asun and takes Sara to a warehouse in an unknown location. There, Sara discovers Roci and Claudia, who are still alive but have been gagged and hung from hooks from their hands.

She attempts to untie them, but the kidnapper returns before she can do so. She discovers Maca’s decomposing body and is found by the kidnapper, who embraces her and tries to get her to kill the girls. She instead attacks him, and he accidentally fires his shotgun, blowing off Claudia’s hand. Sara kills the kidnapper by biting a chunk out of his neck. She then picks up the shotgun and contemplates killing her former bullies, but instead shoots the chains suspending them. She leaves, encountering Pedro on a motorbike, and rides with him back to town.
