@tanty

Story about Opus Dei's founder which advocates about his work through a much incoherent parallel story of the crimes committed during the Spanish Civil War and the today's stormy relationship of a son and his father.

Most of the performing is pretty bad, maybe also empowered by the clear difficulties that many of the Spanish actors have to do so in English and their strong accent when speaking.
