SynopsisDuring the tough rural post-war years in Catalonia, Andreu, a boy belonging to the side of the losers, finds the dead bodies of a man and his son in the forest. The authorities want to blame his father for the deaths, but he tries to find out who killed them to help his father. On the way, there is an awakening of Andreu's moral conscience with regard to the world of adults filled with lies. To survive, he will betray his own roots and ends up discovering the monster within himself.
