Twelve-year-old Carlos is the latest arrival to Santa Lucia School, an imposing stone building that shelters the orphans of the Republican militia and politicians during the last days of the Spanish Civil War. Carlos gradually uncovers the dark ties that bind the inhabitants of the school: hidden riches, sexual intrigue, and the restless ghost of a murdered student. Presented by Agustin and Pedro Almodovar (All About My Mother) and starring Marisa Paredes (The Flower Of My Secret), Federico Luppi (Men With Guns) and Eduardo Noriega (Open Your Eyes). The Devil's Backbone is a richly atmospheric, genuinely thrilling ride in the tradition of The Others and The Sixth Sense.
