El sur

Set against the backdrop of post-Civil War Spain in 1957, fifteen-year-old Estrella reflects on her childhood in the isolated northern countryside. Her father, a physician exiled by the Franco regime, remains an enigmatic figure defined by his distant origins in the south. Driven by a childhood fascination with this mystical 'el sur,' Estrella attempts to piece together the secrets of her father's past. Víctor Erice presents a haunting, visually evocative masterpiece about memory, longing, and the complexities of familial love.
