Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
IN A GLASS CAGE
Tras el cristal
Synopsis

Our take
A stunning film debut from Spain, deeply embedded in the dark and tortured histories suppressed and unnamable. Agustí Villaronga transmutes them into a sensual, nocturnal thriller equal parts De Palma and Argento, all richly intertwined with history’s horrors—and not for the faint of heart.
