The winter of 1967 has almost gone. Laura, a 9-year old girl is found dead in a marsh near to an orphanage in the middle of the Pirineos. A month later, Marco arrives to the town and settles in the attic of a old house far at the mountain. Julia, orphanage's headmistress, notes a strange events concerning Monica, Laura's roommate. It's a place where the little girl is attracted at the same time that is scared, because she thinks, Laura is still there...

I haven't seen too many Spanish movies, mainly this kind of genre. Let me say that this film is quite good. A couple of days before I saw the poster of this film on the wall of a video-rental store, it looked interesting, I came inside and red the summary behind the box,(at the top this comment), it really looked interesting, so that, I rented it. What's a surprise when I was watching it. Throughout the film the plot was increasing more and more. I think the whole cast were good, nice performance, and good scary shots. In a first time after the screen faded at the end of the movie, I was thinking about a different ending, "the direction could have worked more about it, because, it's hard to believe that the ghost just would want stay besides her dead relatives... perhaps there was a murderer amongst the people". I was dead certain it could have been better, but, in a different way, a murderer in the movie became the film a Spanish version of Gotica, that is the reason why It graded it 8/10.

May be people didn't like the ending, but if you see in a different point of view, you will see that the film is quite original. I recommend this film for anyone wants to have a good time.
