In 2010, Dutchman Martin Verfondern disappeared from a rustic Spanish village in Ourense. His disappearance and the subsequent revelations became an infamous tale among Spaniards, dubbed The Crime Of Santoalla.
Having been the focus of 2016’s true-crime documentary Santoalla, the story of Verfondern came to the attention of director Rodrigo Sorogoyen who would take loose inspiration from it to craft The Beasts. This tightly taut psychological thriller explores classism and the xenophobic experiences endured by expatriates.
