(Tell Me About the Third Man) Post-war Spain. 1949. Miguel is a boy living in a military post near the Pyrenees, where his family has been stationed. From that vantage point, his vigilant eyes will carefully record the course of events, like film in a camera. Yet only as an adult will he be able to fully understand its meaning. Anonymous letters. An allegedly anti-Franco conspiracy. A village covered in snow. First love. The oppressive atmosphere of a sunny island. A corpse.  Under the spell of The Third Man, as in the darkness of a movie-theatre, the blinking light of a projector will unveil Miguel’s past — a world in black and white that bears the scars of war and shameful secrets.
