Perdida  (Spanish: Missing) is a 2018 internationally co-produced crime thriller drama film directed by Alejandro Montiel. It is based on Argentinian journalist Florencia Etcheves’s novel Cornelia.

Plot 
Fourteen years ago, during a study trip, a teenage girl, Cornelia Villalba (Amaia Salamanca) ran away with her companions to go dancing and got lost in the middle of the Patagonian forests, and she is never heard from again. At present, Manuela Pelari (Luisana Lopilato) her best friend, decides to use her police tools to undertake a new search. Driven by disrespect and a compelling need to end years of silence and broken ties, she is faced with a power that threatens to turn her into one more piece of a cog that could cost her her life. A commissioner who acts as a father, a ruthless murderer and a Spanish woman as beautiful as it is dangerous, a girl raised outside the law and a colleague who tries to indoctrinate a Pipa mistress of disobedience, are the characters that surround a search that does not give respite.
