An expatriate French couple operate an organic farm in the Spanish countryside. However, their earnest enthusiasm reeks of patronizing privilege to the handful of “hill people” families who have toiled on the land for generations. Tensions between locals and foreigners boil over in this edge-of-your-seat thriller.
"The Beasts (As Bestas), by Spanish filmmaker Rodrigo Sorogoyen, is a film based on the premise that the everyday struggles of some are a privilege for others. The plot follows a couple of French expatriates who settle in Galicia to lead a dream life in the countryside. This does not sit well with the locals, and tensions with the neighbors soon reach a point of no return. It's a powerful story that leaves the audience disturbed and reflective long after the credits, weaving a complex social background for its characters. The film was highly awarded at international festivals and competitions, winning, among others, the Goya for Best Film and Best Director, as well as the César."
