Short description

In 1940, in the immediate aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, a young girl living on the Castilian plain is haunted after attending a screening of James Whale's 1931 film Frankenstein and hearing from her sister that the monster is not dead, instead existing as a spirit inhabiting a nearby barn.

What's left behind the scenes

Cinematographer Luis Cuadrado began to lose his sight during filming. He later became completely blind and committed suicide in 1980.
