Slow Lightning

0/5 ( ratings)

In 1936, escalating violence and unrest in Spain explodes into civil war. Sandro Risco Canovas, an apolitical but unlucky engineering student, is guilty by association and is named among the hundreds on Franco's blacklist. Hunted by the police, he seeks refuge with Jorge, a wounded zealot, and Teresa, a revolutionary spy. He is forced to flee the city alone, posing as a priest along the sacred pilgrimage route, the Saint James Way. On his trusty bicycle, Libertad , Sandro makes his way toward his seaside village of Arcasella. With the help of a leftist partisan from Canada, Sandro hides in the branches of a towering beech tree. Once home, he retreats into a secret cave, setting in motion an elaborate deception.
