The story of Amador, who returns to his village in Galicia, after 2 years imprisoned by arson. This film is 80% cinematography, filmed in a beautiful 16mm, with long shots of the mountains, village houses, animals, and impressive images of a fire (the team is to be congratulated for the realism of it). The narrative has a slow pace, almost no development from the first act until the end, but I believe that that was the goal of Oliver Laxe, to portray the calmness and loneliness of country life. The short and cold dialogues are the reflexion of a community that is not given to affections, but always united in tragedy.
