The gray life of two girls in post-war Castile is shaken by a fiction portrayed in a rural cinema: that of Frankenstein’s monster. The awakening to the reality of the eldest of them materializes around the cinematic being, which, together with the parents who died in life, breaks the monotony of the eternal days.
