Bèstia

Synopsis

Bèstia is a portrait of three hunters from inland Catalonia. Palomero, an Andalusian grandfather who, after a hard life, spends his last years hunting with a group of young people; Bernat, a gun enthusiast who feels trapped in the village; and ‘Nen’, a solitary man who maintains a special relationship with nature. They are the protagonists of a documentary as wild and tender as its protagonists, themselves. Three characters who live on the fringes of society and embody the conflicts of a rural world in contrast to a society driven by frenetic pace and urban ideals.
