Premiering at Cannes, this intense thriller directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen (Madre, The Realm, May God Save Us) centres on a married couple, Antoine and Olga, who leave France and move to a small Galician village in Spain, looking for a peaceful life in the countryside. Yearning for idyllic country life, they throw themselves into farming and renovating the run-down house they bought. But their run-ins with their fellow villagers are far from ideal, and when they refuse to support the wind farm construction in the village, things escalate. The story is based on real events involving a Dutch in Galicia. The film won a total of nine Goya Awards, including Best Film, Director, Screenplay, Lead and Supporting Actor.
