A haunting, poetic meditation on childhood trauma and the lingering shadows of war, told through a girl's obsessive search for a phantom monster that may or may not exist.

In 1940, in the immediate aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, a young girl living on the Castilian plain is haunted after attending a screening of James Whale's 1931 film Frankenstein and hearing from her sister that the monster is not dead, instead existing as a spirit inhabiting a nearby barn.
