The Devil's Backbone

What is a ghost?

During Spain's Civil War, an orphaned boy arrives at an isolated boarding school shrouded in melancholy and buried secrets. Within its austere walls, strange phenomena disturb the institution's fragile order—a spectral presence haunts darkened corridors while adults guard a truth they refuse to speak. As the child navigates his new world, he uncovers a mystery that demands resolution, discovering that some of the dead refuse to rest quietly.
