In post-war rural Spain, a group of children lives in an atmospheric village where innocence intertwines with fear and mystery. The story revolves around Ana, a girl fascinated by the screening of "Frankenstein," which arrives in her village as part of a traveling cinema. After the film, her imagination is unleashed, and she begins to explore the idea of the monstrous, prompting her to question the reality around her.
In her quest for answers, Ana ventures into the forest and, at the same time, into her own inner world, where the ghosts of the past and the shadows of the present intertwine. Her relationship with her sister and her distant mother reflects the emotional disintegration of the family in a context of repression, longing, and loneliness. The appearance of a stranger, a fugitive hiding in the countryside, awakens in Ana a mix of curiosity and fear.
As her world fragments, the girl must confront her own fears and the solitude she feels in a hostile environment. The seasons change, and along with them, so do the perceptions of fear and hope. This poetic and symbolic narrative offers a profound meditation on childhood, memory, and the search for what has been lost, all seen through the eyes of a girl caught between realities.
