La isla y los demonios

Marta Camino is a teenager who lives with her brother José and her sister-in-law Pino in a house on the outskirts of Las Palmas in 1938, towards the end of the civil war. With them, locked in a room, she consumes her mother, Teresa, who went crazy after an accident. This routine life of contained tensions is broken with the arrival of some relatives fleeing the war in the Peninsula: her paternal uncle Daniel, a musician by profession; her wife Matilde, a poet with strong conservative values, and her aunt Honesta, a romantic woman with a fickle personality. She is accompanied by Pablo, a painter who travels to the island to see new scenes. Marta understands his presence as the promise of a different life, full of new sensations. The beautiful and overwhelming landscape becomes one more protagonist and witnesses the implacable discovery of the inner demons of the formidable characters and the progressive transformation of the young woman, who sees in the sea the route to her liberation.
