Description:Not to say that the film shocked me , but made a pretty strong and mixed impression . Initially interested in strange name and a set of actors. However, only a secondary viewing helped me to understand this very not ordinary film.
This film is full of explicit scenes , perverted fantasies in it a lot of cruelty – but it does not matter , because the approach to the realities of Catalonia during the Second World paramount importance. Hatred of the Phalangists , the underground struggle and rejection of fascism Catalans … But – people are people , they are forced to adapt to circumstances and survive.

His brother plays itself Banderas – but the role is so small and clear that it is not worth discussing . The film has a lot of interesting characters , and each has its own , albeit a little story .

The merit of the director and team in this very large, but … I longed to read at one time banned book Juan Mars and for some reason it seemed that the director did not say anything or not so little , I wanted to hear and see.
