  "description": "A captivating, simmering rural thriller. The tension between Antoine and his Spanish neighbors is evident from the outset, but Sorogoyen masterfully ramps it up and the pace at which he does so is agonizing. The shouts, the small conflicts, the vaguely threatening approaches — it all spirals and you can feel the tension pouring out through the screen. It builds and builds until Antoine is alone in the woods and Olga is quietly, stoically looking for his body. It's about money, it's about a couple that wants to stay and retire to a village that many of the locals are desperate to leave. A pay out to have a turbine planted in the middle of your home means nothing to Antoine and Olga and everything to Xan and Lorenzo. That conflict, that tension — when everyone has to agree and they couldn't be further from doing so — when the home you've sought is a place others are looking to flee shatters everything. Beautiful, beautiful film. Oh and that scene in the kitchen between Olga and Marie? What a performance on Marie's part.",
