Vacas
Director Julio Medem presents a saga spanning over half a century of the twisted goings on between two families in Northern Spain. Carmelo Gomez and Kandido Uranga star as the fathers, sons and grandsons, locked through the ages in an absurdly stubborn and emotionally exhausting conflict. From the Carlist Wars of 1875 to the more famous Spanish Civil War of the 1930s, 'Vacas' proves that sometimes there seems to be no escape from how family ties dictate our fate.
