Tobacco Barns

Seven-year-old Vera lives in the big city but adores spending the holidays in her grandparents’ town and particularly in their deserted tobacco barn. Nieves, a teenage native from there whose father forces her to help out at the family’s land, can’t avoid but feeling caged. The two girls, driven by the sense of adventure and the need to find themselves respectively, will be connected due to a magical creature that will change the way they see their own reality. With a creature created by Oscar-winner DDT (Pan’s Labyrinth)  and awarded at the SXSW Festival, the film is a fantastical coming-of-age story. Set in dreamy landscapes, director Rocío Mesa’s feature debut, inspired by her childhood in southern Spain, transports us to a mysterious and moving summer where anything can happen.
