THE BEASTS

Antoine and Olga are a French couple who settled long ago in a village in the interior of Galicia. There they lead a quiet life, growing vegetables and remodeling abandoned houses, although their coexistence with the locals is not as idyllic as they wish. Their refusal to install a wind farm will accentuate the disagreement, especially with siblings Xan and Lorenzo, leading their possibilities of coexistence to a point of no return.

Oscar nominated director Rodrigo Sorogoyen delivers a high tension drama that had its, highly praised, world premier as an Official selection at Cannes 2022. The film has had a strong a reception with both critics and audiences winning nine Goyas, including best picture, best director and original screenplay at the 37th Goya Awards.

Already a box office success in Spain and France shows that the film resonates with its audience and delivers a strong cinematic experience. The Beasts is scheduled for a US release in 2023 by Greenwich Films.
