The Beasts (As bestas)

Directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen
Spain, France
2022
120 mins

Antoine and Olga are a French couple who settled long ago in a village in the interior of Galicia. There, they lead a quiet life, grow their vegetables, and rehabilitate abandoned houses, although their coexistence with the locals is not as idyllic as they wish.

Their refusal to support the implementation of a wind farm exacerbates the disagreements with the neighbors, especially with the brothers Xan and Lorenzo, taking coexistence to a situation of no return.
