Fernando Trueba, one of the most prestigious filmmakers in Spain, has set his latest film somewhere in occupied France, not far from the Spanish border. An old renowned sculptor, tired of life and mankind’s folly, rediscovers the desire to work again and sculpt his last piece thanks to the arrival of a young Spanish woman who has escaped from a refugee camp. The film has an international cast headed by the veteran French actor Jean Rochefort, the Spanish actress Aida Folch and the Italian film star, Claudia Cardinale.
