Jacinto

JACINTO is a nine-year-old child trapped in the body of a man near his forties. He lives in Mallou, a decaying and abandoned small village in the middle of the mountains, along with his parents and his dearest pig, Martiño. It's been a long time since the last time he spoke. Something happened when he was a child that shut him up for good. Jacinto spends his days playing in the woods, going to church on Sundays, watching old vampire movies and visiting his secret spot: an abandoned Seat 127 hidden in the mountain. His mother, Maruja, adores him and makes sure he has everything he needs. His Father, Amancio, is a retired legionnaire that wants to maintain the discipline at home. And Millan, his younger brother, left the village to live in town some years ago, and only comes back when he is looking for money. They are the Becerra family. Jacinto's world is turned upside down when two new neighbors arrive at the village: Alex and Ana, two black metal artists that arrive from Sweden looking for a peaceful place to record the new album for their band, "Tardigrades". Someplace free from distractions. Alex comes from a galician family, and they occupy the house that belonged to her grandmother. Soon they become friends with Maruja, that is excited to see new faces in the area.

Both families have to face also an important language barrier and some cultural differences that don't ease the situation. The Swedes refurbish the old house to make it livable, and Alex takes advantage of the situation to record some videos for her Youtube channel, talking about survivalism and rural life. She becomes every day more obsessed with succeeding as a youtuber, and she starts forgetting about music. This becomes a problem between her and Ana. In the meanwhile, Martiño, Jacinto's pig, is becoming a grown-up. Slaughtering time is close, and Jacinto releases him to save him from the knife. His heroism gets him beaten by his father and, in the end, is useless. The Swedes find Martiño by chance and get him back to Amancio, that starts liking the girls much better. Jacinto, on the other side, ensures that they are the Devil himself. Jacinto has enough reasons to hate the newcomers. They don't know it, but ev
