While the Spanish Civil War rages in the plains below, the hills are peaceful and full of snow. Aspiring priest Teo is sent to a deserted outpost, to keep watch for Franco’s army for six months with fellow soldier Silverio. The tension caused by their claustrophobia is exacerbated when they take a wounded young Polish woman prisoner. As a member of the International Brigades, they should shoot her right away. But both men take a liking to their captive.
The feature debut of Arturo Ruiz is a beautifully shot and tautly paced drama.
Best Dramatic Narrative Film Jury Prize at the Austin Film Festival 2015.
