O ovom filmu

The crumbling village of Santoalla in the misty Galician hills provides the unlikely setting for this haunting true-crime mystery. Progressive Dutch couple Martin Verfondern and Margo Pool moved to Santoalla in search of a simple life away from the city, but their dream to live off the land instead ignited a decade-long conflict with their rural neighbours. These tensions eventually culminated in a shocking crime which would take years to solve.

A fascinating documentary, which shows the damaging consequences of feuds and the lengths people will go to enact revenge. Based on a Dutch couple in pursuit of a quieter more rural life in the most idyllic of surroundings, the documentary follows the lives of those living in Santoalla. With excellent footage and interviews, the story gradually unfolds and concludes in tragic circumstances.

Love thy neighbour... It was only a matter of time the neighbour son's were the murderers. Once Margo/Martin had a piece of the land rights. They got jealous an acted upon it the whole family new about the criminal act they did in the end they lost everything.
