Synopsis
As civil war tears Spain apart, young Carlos finds refuge in Santa Lucia, an orphanage lost in the countryside run by Mrs. Carmen. At nightfall, the boy is challenged by his comrades: he must cross the courtyard of the establishment to get to the kitchen, forcing him to pass in front of the house of the caretaker, the unfriendly Jacinto. Once there, Carlos hears strange sighs and discovers the ghost of a mutilated child in the basement of the building.
