Cría Cuervos

Synopsis

In a claustrophobic Madrid mansion during the final months of Franco's dictatorship, an intense eight-year-old orphan girl believes she possesses lethal occult powers after placing harmless baking soda she thinks is poison in her philandering military father's milk on the night he died of a heart attack, communing with the ghost of her beloved dead mother. Carlos Saura's Cannes Special Jury Prize-winning political allegory starring Ana Torrent and Geraldine Chaplin featuring the hit song 'Porque te vas'.
