Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for spy-story fans and the curious. Nobody is quite who they seem.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 18 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Province of Lugo, Galicia, Spain. A year in the life of A Fonsagrada, a rural region whose inhabitants live both near and far from urban civilization; a praise of the distance that crosses the four seasons of the year, whose inevitable passage transforms both the natural environment and the existence of people, a simple, dignified and peaceful existence.
