The Spirit of the Beehive, considered the best Spanish movie of the 70’s, is a lyrical masterpiece starring a six-year-old girl, in what is arguably the best child performance ever. In her small Castillian village, Ana attends a traveling movie show of Frankenstein and becomes possessed by its memory. One of the most visually fascinating and emotionally beautiful movies ever made.
