After winning the feature film competition at Grossmann 2018 with dark fairy tale Errementari, Basque filmmaker Paul Urkijo Alijo is back with an even more flamboyant epic, the most ambitious Spanish film in recent years and the first ever Spanish “sword and sorcery” film. Due to its extraordinary blend of mythology and history, and spectacular battle scenes, some have dubbed it “the Spanish Lord of the Rings”. Mandatory viewing!
