The Holy Innocents

In rural Spain during the 1960s, Paco and his wife Régula lead a meager existence as tenant farmers laboring for an affluent landowner. With three children to care for, including one with special needs, their modest life becomes more challenging when Régula's brother is unexpectedly fired from the job he held for 61 years. As he seeks refuge at their small home, tensions rise as they grapple with social injustice and an archaic system that binds them to a life of hardship and limited opportunity. This evocative drama delves into the struggles of rural Spain during this era while exploring themes of resilience, family bonds, and the human spirit's enduring capacity for hope.
