About the film:
In the 60s, a young soldier returns to the humble rural croft of his youth to visit his ageing parents, and recalls, in a series of flashbacks, the lives of his family.
In Franco’s Spain for the poorest workers on the estates, life is feudal and brutal.
If Camus places his sympathy firmly with these innocent victims rather than their morally impoverished employers, his mood is nevertheless one of restraint, shot through with moments of symbolism and dark spirituality. A moving and mournful valediction to an unforgotten past.
