El Espiritu de la Colmena (The Spirit of the Beehive)

This 1973 Spanish film, set just after the Spanish civil war, follows 6 year old Ana as she tries to make sense of her life after watching the movie Frankenstein in her small town. It's a beautiful film, very moving and beguiling.

I'm not sure I understood everything that was going on, though. This is one I'll have to rewatch at some point.
