Miel de naranjas



Imanol Uribe : 2012
Orange Honey

Andalusía in the 1950s. Enrique and Carmen are a young couple. In a society permeated by fear and held in check by terror, Enrique is doing his military service in the office of Don Eladio, a military judge who orders summary executions of suspected rebels following the farcical trials over which he presides. Eladio is also Carmen's uncle. Discovering the brutal truth of the Franco regime, Enrique realises that he can no longer stand on the sidelines and watch innocent people be sentenced to death. It is the beginning of a dangerous double life, in which love, loyalty and betrayal become matters of life and death. Winner of the Silver Biznaga for Best Director at Málaga Spanish Film Festival 2012, and the Special Grand Prize of the Jury at Montréal World Film Festival 2012.
