A woman’s body disappears mysteriously from the morgue without a trace. Police inspector Jaime Peña investigates the strange occurrence with the help of Álex Ulloa, the widower of the missing woman.

If you loved The Body, the closest films we have are Forgotten (2017), Decision to Leave (2022) and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017). All three share The Body's tense and twisty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
