Estela Redondo

On a remote estate in coastal Ecuador, an aging patriarch rules over a sprawling Montubio clan bound by blood, violence, and superstition. When his ruthless grandsons turn their attention to their cousins, a brutal crime threatens to shatter the family’s lawless world.

Recounts the experiences of a middle-class family, the Alcántaras, during the last years of the rule of Francisco Franco and the beginning of the Spanish Transition to democracy.

A caustic satire of many of the 'types' found in Spanish society.
