This is, according to starring actress Aura Garrido, an analogy for how we “face the unknown.” What follows is an ‘us versus them’ tale, a mix of action and horror shown through a war between monsters and humans. Yet, when Frank arrives on the island he finds a deranged man is the only other inhabitant. The plot follows a young former soldier who, trying to distance himself from the recently ended World War I, takes up work on a secluded island near the Antarctic Circle. La Pell Freda is, in fact, an adaptation of Catalan writer Albert Sánchez Piñol’s hit debut novel. This month, it has made its way home to the Sitges Film Festival. The movie has already received a positive reception at international film festivals after it made its debut at September’s Étrange Film Festival in Paris.

In this desolate job, there is only one other person on the island - Gruner, the lighthouse caretaker. He is set to replace the former weather official, but he is nowhere to be found. For the next twelve months, his entire world will consist of a deserted cabin, trees, rocks, silence, and the surrounding sea."Ī young man named Friend is assigned as a weather official in a remote island for one year. He finds no trace of the man he has been sent to replace, just a deranged castaway who has witnessed a horror he refuses to name. On board is a young man who is on his way to assume the post of weather observer and live in solitude at the end of the earth.
