Cría Cuervos (50th Anniversary)

Set against the backdrop of dictator Franco's last years, Cría Cuervos shows how political and familial trauma nestles in a child's imagination, where catchy pop songs, morbid fantasies, and everyday rituals suddenly gain a mysterious power. As intimate as it is historically loaded, the film grew into a key work of Spanish cinema, in which a country cautiously says goodbye to its ghosts.
