Bajo un manto de estrellas (2014)

Bajo un manto de estrellas (2014) weaves a poignant narrative within the ancient walls of Calatrava's convent, a hallowed space serving as a house of higher learning, novitiate and humanities seminary for young initiates embarking on their Dominican journey in 1936. As summer vacation descends, the convent's populace reduces by half, leaving a select group of individuals to become unwitting participants in a series of events marked by sorrow and tragedy in the wake of an uprising. The initial day of anticipation is filled with an air of tension, punctuated by unexpected visits and suspicious interrogations that seem more invasive than bothersome. However, the sense of foreboding escalates dramatically when the religious inhabitants witness flames engulfing the nearby Mother of God parish. This sight confirms their worst fears, heralding the approaching storm that threatens to shatter their tranquil existence. Bajo un manto de estrellas captures this transformative period, painting a vivid picture of courage and faith under siege, forever altering the lives within the venerable confines of the Calatrava convent.

Bajo un manto de estrellas is a comedy movie featuring Julián Teurlais and directed by Óscar Parra de Carrizosa.
