The Good Manners - Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival

In a Valencian village during the post-war period, Ana tries to get by with her family - the civil war has left a deep wound in all of them, especially in her brother-in-law, Antonio. Ana tries to heal that wound using stews, secrets and silences, but when Isabel, newly married to Antonio, arrives in the family, Ana's attention and care will be of little or no use: sacrifice does not always come with a reward.Trigger warnings: Contains scenes with mild verbal and physical violence, and verbal misogyny.

Reviews
