Synopsis

The quiet, routine life of Lucia and Albert and their three teenage kids is transformed when a spectre by the name of a Marcelo moves into their home. A Republican fighter against Bourbon absolutism, he had been executed, to his great misfortune, by garrote, and now, tragicomic and mournful, drifting aimlessly, he is unable to die until he receives a death worthy of a revolutionary: execution by firing squad. The family adopts him and helps to consummate this noble end. Based on the novel “O bosque de Levas” by Alfonso Álvarez Cáccamo.
