Overview
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.

Andres Gomez (Rated: 8)
Good movie about children's world and believes with magnificent Fernando Fernán Gómez and really good performance from Ana Torrent.
The script is really good and depicts pretty well a stage in Spanish countryside life after the civil war.
A must to be seen.
