Summary
Heralding a turning point in Spain and shot while General Franco was on his deathbed, this film paints a portrait of the legacy of Fascism and its effects on a middle-class family. Ana is a disturbed eight-year-old living in Madrid with her two sisters and mourning the death of her mother, whom she conjures as a ghost.
