Plot

edit

The plot is set in a Spanish village. After ten years of living nightmare caused by the bullying-induced suicide of her son Lolo, María José, otherwise marginalized too by the village's inhabitants, decides to take her life. She is however stopped by Lucía, a mysterious girl with achondroplasia, later revealed to have supernatural abilities, burning a civil guard agent with her sheer gaze. With the girl seemingly related to an apocalyptic prophecy and the mayor's wife as María José's main foe, María José only enjoys some help from an altar server (Juan) among the townsfolks.[1][2][3][4][5]
