Fragmentos de Brand

A tale in four times based in a theatrical performance inspired in the dramatic poem Brand by Henrik Ibsen. Brand wakes up next to a tree in the middle of a desolate space. He seems not remember who is he or what he is doing there. After wandering aimlessly, he meets three unknown who don't speak a word. Without knowing exactly what they want from him, Brand, who sees in everything what surrounds him biblical signs of a divine mission, lets himself be guided by them. From that moment, everything develops as a tale at the same time naive and cruel, in a rough, rude and primitive environment.

Directed by Carlos Álvarez-Ossorio, Fragmentos de Brand leans on a strong ensemble — Xosé M. Baño, Alejandro Carro, Xosé Manuel Esperante — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2012.
