Synopsis

A convict escaped from prison will try to recover a loot hidden in an isolated village some years ago, but what he finds there will cause him a sentence worse than the one he has suffered. Sinister ancients, strange disappearances, spirits, an old parish priest and even Santiago de Compostela's archbishop will meet in a history full of mystery, humour and fantasy.
