{es} Cría Cuervos / {en} Raise Ravens [1] (Spain, 1976), directed by Carlos Saura.

In the twilight of Francisco Franco's dictatorship, an 8-year-old orphan and her two sisters find shelter in the house of their stern aunt and try their best to acclimatize to a new reality. Can they summon up the courage to grow up?

Ana Torrent followed up her appearance in Spirit of the Beehive with another stunning performance, this time as an eight-year-old who witnesses too much of her family’s private life, in Carlos Saura’s majestic drama. Spanning various timeframes and employing the house of Ana’s (Torrent) aunt as a microcosm of Spanish society, Cría Cuervos is a beautifully realised evocation of the country under military rule and the ghosts it left behind.
