The Apostle
"There are sentences that cannot be escaped"
Directed by Fernando Cortizo
Produced by Artefacto producciones, Audiovisual Aval SGR
A haunting stop-motion meditation on inescapable fate and supernatural punishment, steeped in Galician folklore and the liminal space between life and death.
A recently escaped convict seeks to recover a treasure he hid years ago in a small, secluded Galician village. However once there, he finds out that in the village there is an even worse sentence than the one he fled from.
