(original Spanish title: Ofrenda a la tormenta ; English title: Offering to the Storm ) is the final installment of the acclaimed Baztán Trilogy by Spanish author Dolores Redondo . This dark, atmospheric thriller serves as both the third novel in the series and its 2020 film adaptation directed by Fernando González Molina.

While critics have praised the strong performance of Marta Etura as Amaia, some noted the film's 139-minute runtime leads to a slow-burning, sometimes convoluted pace.
