Premiering at Cannes, this intense thriller directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen 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. 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. Based on real events, the film won a total of nine Goya Awards.
