A different story in the after times of the Spanish Civil War.

Cleverly, it mixes a thriller with the destruction of the naïve childhood of the main character.

Who is good and who is bad, who is true and who lies is unclear as the events that lead to the current situation. A must to see in nowadays Spanish film making.
