Lara Grube

Summer of 1975, five people die on a farm in Paradas, Seville. Two years later, Onofre returns to his hometown to investigate the event, which has caused great division among the neighbors. His investigation takes him to different environments and characters, among them the Marquis of Bahia. Always as a fiction, we will reveal how this crime was conceived.

Mr.Manolito and Mr.Estrafalario– characters of Valle-Inclán’s plays– spend the last days of Primo de Rivera’s dictatorship chasing the plays written by their admired Valle-Inclán whose works are banned by a Government Law. One day, they find a piece of The Daughter of the Captain, a portrait of the crazy soldiers who returned home after losing the Spanish Colonies. In other occasion, they attend one of the limited performances of Valle-Inclán’s:The deceiving Mr. Friolera. They are just longing for the best premiere ever: the Second Spanish Republic, a drama on for a very short time. It was a beautiful dream thought, like the Esperpentos (strange-looking characters) of Valle-Inclán.
