Synopsis
1936, Spanish Civil War. The grim orphanage of Santa Lucia is run by crippled head-mistress Carmen and the mysterious Professor Casares. Twelve-year old newcomer Carlos is met with hostility and violence from the hate-filled handyman, Jacinto. But for Carlos, the dark hallways and claustrophobic vaults of Santa Lucia hide far greater terrors. The emaciated ghost of Santi appears to Carlos.
