Plot: Paco Plaza’s film, based on a book by Alfredo Conde, mixes fact with fiction in telling this strange tale. Julian Sands plays Romasanta as a gruff charmer who has hooked up with a woman named Maria (Maru Valdivielso), but it’s her sister Barbara (Elsa Pataky) that he has his eye on. Romasanta kills Maria and their other sister Teresa, and seduces Barbara. Meanwhile, the townsfolk are convinced that the spate of killings destroying their community is the work of a pack of vicious wolves, but investigating attorney Luciano (Gary Piquer) believes there may be more to it than that.
