Well done film on the resistance against Francoist dictatorship in countryside Spain between 1944 and 1948. With beautiful historic reconstitution, It is a film focused on those characters, on those neighbors, and on the way they deal with reactionary authoritarian and abusive rule: armed struggle, conceived cooperation with rebels, coward betrayal, or systematic participation in repression. Fears, loves, concerns, it is more a movie about feelings than about action. Then, expect good characters' development and art direction, but not thrilling war action scenes. Those were hard times, as violent illegitimate regime would fall only three decades afterwards. The film express that, despite all the efforts of those brave people.
