Spain, 1932: a young man waits to find out whether he has been accepted as a member of the local casino. 1937: a young nationalist soldier is put on guard over a republican prisoner. 2017: a historian inherits an unexpected document from his grandfather. Three timelines, three generations, and a story that majestically moves between the real and the imagined. Queer identity, legacy, and desire run through this gorgeously shot film that takes its inspiration from the legacy of beloved Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca.

Reviews

‘It is nearly impossible to grasp the structural effort required to fluidly create one perfectly coherent story using three narratives told across three timelines, each with a distinct visual identity.’
★★★★★
Sophie Monks Kaufman, Little White Lies

‘Handsomely produced, lovingly detailed and confidently constructed, bringing the puzzle pieces together in the edit… It is a rich and rewarding movie.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
