Handia

Based on true events, Handia (Giant) is a touching drama about the tough life of mid-19th century traveling circus "freaks". North of Spain, 1843. When young Martin returns home from the war, crippled and defeated, he cannot believe his eyes. His dear brother Joaquin has grown up to become an actual giant, as useless as he is for his family's work in their tiny hamlet. To keep the family afloat, the two embark on a breathtaking adventure, turning the giant into a circus act, performing in squares, theaters and leading courts throughout Europe. 
"An uneasy universe with complexity, subtlety, emotion and truth."- Carlos Boyero, El País.
