SYNOPSIS

 
Year 1909. Miguel, a young teacher, is assigned to a small village on the border between Spain and Portugal: Lobosandaus, an inhospitable town with ancestral traditions. He is a man of reason, but he can’t control his passional desires and, as winter approaches, he feels how the darkness takes hold of everything around him, as his fascination for enigmatic Dorinda grows. In a city where superstition is the rule, the strange death of a town villager releases a free spirit in search of a body that allows him to continue with his existence. This event will lead Miguel to question the limits between the world of the living and the dead.
