Overview

• Directed by Alberto Morais and starring Laia Marull, Sergi López and Andrés Gertrúdix, the feature is set in a precarious rural community.
• Critics describe a two-part structure titled Dies irae and Via crucis underscored by music from Johann Sebastian Bach.
• The story centers on Miquel, an enigmatic newcomer whose restrained presence and hinted past disrupt the siblings who run a family mill.
• Reviews note deliberately hieratic performances and austere staging that push the drama toward a ritual, subtly supernatural register.
• In a new interview, López calls the work political and mystical, labels society “machista y testosterónica,” and says if “woke” is a fascist term “we should be proud to be wokes.”
