This is a story about a friendship between two girls Katherina(Sienna Guillory) and Blanca(Catalina Sandina Moreno) from their childhood until the youth.Tension rises in a little town from Andalucia where are the Rio Tinto mines(Huelva). Then takes place the confrontation between employees and employers caused by the contamination and work conditions . A strike asking no more Teleros(place where emerge toxic gas) leads a spiral of blood and violence. In the 50s the mines were returned to Spain country. The film is dedicated to memory everybody died in square of Rio Tinto.
This is a stirring drama with romance,betrayal, passion, and historical/political/social events. I don't understand why the Englishmen are completely portrayed as ominous villains and heinous nasties when they're film's co-producers, perhaps for that reason was a flop in England.Casting is frankly cool, formed by British and Spanish actors. As the protagonists Catalina Sandino Moreno(Maria llena eres Gracia) as good girl, Sienna Guillory(Resident Evil II, Eragon)as revolutionary youth and Philip Winchester(Robinson Crusoe)as idealist guy. And secondary cast are Bernard Hill(Titanic), Joaquin De Almeida as the mean magnates, Javier Perugorria as the Mayor, Fernando Ramallo as a striker and Juan Fernandez as an ominous hoodlum . Colorful cinematography by Javier Salmones(Romasanta, Butterfly tongue) and emotive score by Fernando Orti.The motion picture is professionally directed by Antonio Cuadri who was born in Huelva( Andalucia) . He's a fine craftsman with some hit such as ¨La Gran Vida(Salma Hayek)¨ and previously made a documentary titled ¨Riotinto(2004)¨. Nowadays he only directs TV episodes(Cuentame,Manolito Gafotas, among them).
