By turns comic, poignant, absurd and profoundly moving, beautifully shot, and featuring great performances from non professional actors, El Alma de las Moscas tells the story of the two sons of Evaristo de la Sierra, who never met their father, and who's mutual existence they both ignored, until Evaristo sends them a letter inviting them to his funeral. When the Brothers meet at a train station, where to their surprise the train hasn't gone by in years, it is the beginning of their wanderings through barren landscapes, punctuated by chance encounters with the weird and wonderful characters that inhabit that land, such as a suicidal narcoleptic; a man with serious anger issues towards funerals; a bunch of thieving musicians and a young woman in love with the spring, who try, in one way or another, to guide them in their journey to their father’s funeral through paths made of memories, fables, solitude and dreams.

Anselmo, a middle age shepherd, lives a poor but happy life in a small, run down house in a middle of the Spain plains, near a small, but growing village. His dog Pillo and his sheep are his only company. A life bucolic enough for him to ignore the offers he receives from a construction company who wants to buy his house and land to build a new residential complex. Conflicting against Anselmo s unwillingness to sell is Julian and Paco s greed, the owners of the neighbouring lands, who only answer to their own interests. A bloody metaphor of the greed to corrodes these who do not answer to reason in their quest to get what they want, and the inevitable, but violent consequences of their actions.
