Spanish drama in which a young girl rediscovers life in the countryside living with relatives after her parents die.
A slow-moving summer, but one worth seeing through.
Impeccably performed by its young leads and nurturing supporting cast, this deeply personal picture particularly impresses in the closing scenes, which are quietly devastating in their intimacy, insight and truth.
Carla Simón’s brilliantly realised story of a six-year-old traumatised by the death of her parents features miraculous child performances.
The debut feature from Spanish writer-director Carla Simón is a finely crafted portrait of personal upheaval.
