Pa Negre
The lies of adults raise little monsters.
In the harsh post-war years' Catalan countryside, Andreu, a child that belongs to the losing side, finds the corpses of a man and his son in the forest. The authorities want his father to be made responsible of the deaths, but Andreu tries to help his father by finding out who truly killed them. In this search, Andreu develops a moral consciousness against a world of adults fed by lies. In order to survive, he betrays his own roots and ends up finding out the monster that lives within him.

Agustí Villaronga's "Pa Negre" (Black Bread) belongs to a vital tradition of Spanish cinema that uses a child's perspective to reveal how fascism poisons communities from within. Like Guillermo del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth" and especially Víctor Erice's "El Sur" (1983), this film understands that childhood under fascism means the premature death of innocence.
