A Forbidden God
Directed by Pablo Moreno

A solemn, historically grounded account of religious martyrdom during the Spanish Civil War, built on intimate testimonies of faith and sacrifice in the face of execution.
August 1936, the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. 51 members of the Claretian community of Barbastro (Huesca) are martyred, die for their faith. The film recounts the last weeks of his life, since they are held until they are finally shot.
