The House among the Cactuses

PREMIERE · 16 September, 2022

Emilio (Daniel Grao) and Rosa (Ariadna Gil) have built a picture-perfect family. During the last years of the 70s, somewhere within the desertic lands of the Canary Islands, they have created a home full of love, devoted to their five daughters: Lis, Iris, Melisa, Lila and Dalia, all named after flowers. There, isolated from civilization and from the life they left behind, they enjoy their unique paradise, disconnected from the rest of the world. A world that poses a threat and that, if it were to interfere with the family’s peace, could shake its core to pieces. Emilio and Rosa know, they are the only ones aware of the dangers looming over them, and, precisely because of that, they have been keeping a terrible secret from their daughters for their whole lives.
