14, Fabian Road is a 2008 Spanish film directed by Jaime de Armiñán which stars Julieta Cardinali and Ana Torrent.

Plot

[edit]

The fiction follows Camila, an Argentine best-selling fiction author with a reported writer's block who is gently kidnapped by a purported fan (Vega) upon making a trip to Spain. Camila is thereby taken to an isolated hostal in Extremadura managed by Palmira so she can write a new novel. Rather than a fan, Vega turns out to be seeking revenge, whilst Camila, rather than a novelist, is a marketing façade to sell novels.[1][2][3]
