Product Information
Guillermo del Toro's spine chilling thriller is set during the dog days of the Spanish Civil War at a remote 'orphanage', where children of the soon-to-be defeated Republican cause are given refuge. It is run by Dr Casares, who desires the headmistress Carmen. But she in turn is having an affair with the young janitor Jacinto, who is looking for the secret stash of gold bullion used to finance the left wing cause. Into this heady mix comes young Carlos, who is assigned the bed of Santi, who drowned in mysterious circumstances in the basement pool and whose ghost now haunts the establishment. As the corporeal and the spiritual worlds clash in a mix of lust, revenge and greed, the gripping climax sees avarice punished but at the expense of the greater good. In Spanish with English subtitles.Product Identifiers
