The Tree of Blood
No secret remains hidden forever
Directed by Julio Medem
Produced by Arcadia Motion Pictures, Galatea Films
A melancholic family drama that excavates generational secrets and emotional wounds through the lens of a couple reconstructing their shared ancestry.
Marc and Rebeca, a young couple, travel to an old country house that used to belong to their family. Once there, they write the shared history of their roots, creating a huge family tree that harbours relationships of love, heartbreak, sex, madness, jealousy and infidelity, and under which also lies a history laden with secrets.
