Carlos Saura wrote and directed this powerful psychological drama in which family crises which reflect the embattled soul of a nation are seen through the eyes of an unusually perceptive child. Ana (Ana Torrent) is an eight-year-old girl growing up in a troubled household – her father Anselmo is a general in the Spanish military during the waning days of Franco's repressive regime, and her mother (Geraldine Chaplin) is dead, Ana having witnessed her agonizing final moments. Anna, her older sister Irene and younger sister Juana are looked after by their emotionally chilly Aunt Paulina, while housekeeper Rosa (Florinda Chico) provides what little warmth there is to be found in the household. While Ana's mother is gone, the girl frequently sees and hears her mother's spirit, and is convinced Anselmo's emotional neglect and infidelity is responsible for her death, leading the youngster to take her own form of revenge against her father.

Berceau de nombreux rythmes traditionnels, au premier rang desquels la danza, la bomba et la plena, mélange unique d’Afrique, d’Esapgne et de Caraïbes, Porto Rico a joué un rôle majeur dans l’éclosion de la salsa contemporaine, notamment en offrant à New York, via l’émigration, une large part des artistes et du public qui ont donné corps à cette nouvelle forme de musique urbaine.
