The Sow
A picaresque comedy set in medieval Spain that follows an unlikely pair's journey home, driven by appetite and absurdist humor rather than high stakes.
After spending three years in captivity in Tunis, Bartolomé returns home Extremadura with the only hope to eat his favorite dish: the pork. Along the way he meets a deserter who is traveling with a sow.
