Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Mateo Gil co-wrote the acclaimed 'Open Your Eyes' (1997) and 'The Others' (2001), making this his deeply personal return to Spanish-language supernatural drama.
The film explores Spain's rural exodus and generational silence—Tomás's forty-year absence mirrors how many Spaniards fled Franco-era villages only to find no peace in leaving.
