📖 Synopsis
In rural Galicia in 1936, a young boy named Moncho develops a close friendship with his teacher Don Gregorio, an enlightened Republican who teaches him to love nature and free thinking. José Luis Cuerda adapts Manuel Rivas's work into a tender film that darkens inexorably toward a devastating conclusion when Franco's coup reaches the village. One of the most beautiful and tragic films about the Spanish Civil War.
