Overview

Santi, a young high-school student with a serious physical reaction to sunlight, is forced by his health to move with his single mother to a shadowy, isolated village in the mountains of Spain where the inhabitants begin to reveal themselves as strangely xenophobic. When terrible, violent events begin to occur, Santi becomes first a pariah at school and then strongly suspected by the police of hideous murders. Santi himself, however, wonders if he is not the next victim.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A atmospheric Spanish thriller that traps you in a suffocating rural community where a photosensitive teenager becomes both scapegoat and potential prey. The film builds dread through mounting suspicion and xenophobic menace, leaving you uncertain who, if anyone, can be trusted.
