1939. Os republicanos espanhóis estão fugindo da ditadura de Franco para a França. O governo francês construiu campos de concentração, limitando o acesso dos refugiados à água e alimentação. Aqui, dois homens se tornarão amigos: um guarda e Josep Bartolí, um ilustrador que luta contra o regime.

A shy young price seeks solace in overeating rather than attempt courtship. Until he begins to suffer from severe stomach pains. A peculiar doctor advises him to drink the waters of a magical spring every day. But it is a thousand leagues from the palace. The prince must go there alone, on foot, otherwise the water will lose its powers to cure him.
Director
The film avoids the simplistic emotional cliches that often accompany films about death, instead using a powerful visual metaphor to show the main character’s fear and confusion over an event that she can’t fully process. Raeymaker expertly controls the tempo of the film through her directorial and design choices, alternating between the tranquil beauty of the countryside and the disturbed excitement of the mind.
