Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime-drama fans. If you loved The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, start here.
The mood: Dark and gritty.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 48 min.
What might put you off: It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

In the harsh post-war years' Catalan countryside, Andreu, a child that belongs to the losing side, finds the corpses of a man and his son in the forest. The authorities want his father to be made responsible of the deaths, but Andreu tries to help his father by finding out who truly killed them. In this search, Andreu develops a moral consciousness against a world of adults fed by lies. In order to survive, he betrays his own roots and ends up finding out the monster that lives within him.
