An expatriate French couple operate an organic farm in the Spanish countryside. However, their earnest enthusiasm reeks of patronizing privilege to the handful of “hill people” families who have toiled on the land for generations, leading to tensions between locals and foreigners boiling over.

Inspired by a shocking real-life case, this small-scale tragedy is a masterclass in escalating tension. A sharp exploration of how egomania clouds judgment, Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s gripping thriller thrums with shifting power dynamics as machismo buckles in a nasty clash at the film’s thorny center.
