An adventure thriller with a wartime backdrop that recreates a very little-known event from World War II: the exploitation of Galicia’s wolfram mines by the Nazis with the consent of the Franco regime. Loosely inspired by real events and characters, Simón Casal’s directorial debut benefits from a remarkable period setting and delves into the magic and mysteries that surround the film’s locations. The cast is led by Goya Award winner Marián Álvarez and Manuela Vellés, the protagonist of Julio Médem’s film ‘Chaotic Ana.'»
