‘ET VIENDRA LE FEU - Oliver Laxe’

Amador Coro has been convicted of arson. When he comes out of prison, no one is waiting for him. He returns to his village, nestled in the mountains of Galicia, where his mother, Benedicta, lives with her three cows. Their lives flow, following the peaceful rhythm of nature. A delicate and sensitive portrayal, which makes for a captivating and exceptionally subtle film.
