Such an interesting tale of orphans in war filled Spain. The lines between antagonist and protagonist are clearly drawn and illustrate the boys joining together to destroy their oppressor and give an old friend justice for his murder. This film is a  literature motif, the old good vs. evil, making it a classic. The whole film lead up to Jacinto becoming this force of evil and therefore the need for him to be destroyed.  Jacinto being the antagonist, drowns because of his greed in the form of gold weighing down his body. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes basically movies. This movie is for everyone and a instant Spanish classic to watch over and over again.

Plot
Unaware of his fathers' death Carlos is left at an orphanage with a dark secret of a murdered boy that will leave the orphanage in pieces.
