In this atmospheric ghost story set in the waning days of the Spanish Civil War, Carlos (Fernando Tielve) navigates his new life in an orphanage haunted by the ghost of another child. Guillermo del Toro’s (Pan’s LabyrinthThe Shape of Water) restrained direction and ghostly palette help create a mounting sense of dread in this evocative film that’s both suspenseful and surprisingly moving. Also starring Marisa Paredes, Eduardo Noriega, and Federico Luppi.
