Black Bread

Spanish writer and director Agustí Villaronga revisits the Spanish Civil War with this drama. A young boy witnesses a violent crime revealing the complex world of adults which has devastating consequences on him and his family. Villaronga weaves a compelling tale of adults and children caught in the complexity of the war that ravaged Spain. While the political context might be a hurdle, the personal drama of a family is universal which Villaronga and his talented cast and crew bring vividly alive.
