A young orphan, scarred by the Spanish Civil War, stumbles upon a foreboding and cursed boys' orphanage, revealing a tangled web of dark secrets and inexplicable supernatural occurrences.
Carlos, a 12-year-old orphan, finds himself in a small Republican orphanage in war-torn Spain, 1939, under the care of reluctant administrator Carmen. As he navigates the challenges of his new home, he faces bullies and rumors of supernatural visitations that chill him to the bone.
