Plot

In the chilling adaptation of Henry James' renowned tale of terror, "The Turn of the Screw," a young and spirited woman (Sadie Frost) embarks on a journey into the unknown as she accepts a position as a governess for two peculiar children, Miles and Flora (Nilo Mur and Ella Jones). The children now find their home under the watchful eye of their enigmatic uncle, the Master (Harvey Keitel), following the untimely demise of their parents. As the new governess, she brims with initial enthusiasm, only to find herself grappling with the children's unruly behavior and the stark hostility from the estate's austere housekeeper, Mrs. Grose (Lauren Bacall). The picturesque Spanish estate, where the story unfolds, soon reveals its shrouded darkness as the governess stumbles upon its haunting secret, intricately tied to Miss Jessel (Dayne Danika), her predecessor, and Fosc (Agusti Villaronga), the Master's former valet. "Presence of Mind", also known as El Celo, marks Antoni Aloy's striking directorial debut, masterfully intertwining threads of suspense and creeping terror to bring this classic tale to life on the silver screen.
