El Espinazo del Diablo plot
"What is a ghost?"
As the Spanish Civil War rages through the country, a remote orphanage for children of killed Republican soldiers and politicians is no fun either. Carlos is a newcomer who is not exactly the favorite of the frosty headmistress and has to watch out for the brutal jacinto (Eduardo Noriega). Only a friendly professor sometimes turns a blind eye. An unexploded bomb in the building constantly makes the threat of war tangible and if it also turns out that a restless ghost haunts the corridors and rooms, it can be called an explosive situation.
