If you do not habla Espanol, you may want to skip this story and move on to the next because the clips included are all kind of talky and in Spanish. However, if you are bilingual, have at it and kindly explain to the rest of us what’s going on. Thanks!
Coming to us from Filmax is Childish Games starring Juan Diego Botto, Barbara Lennie, and Magica Perez. It’s directed by Antonio ChavarrÃas from his own screenplay.
Filmax has now locked a March 9, 2012, date for the Spanish thriller.
Synopsis
Daniel receives an unexpected, and unwanted, visit from a friend whom he hasn’t seen since his childhood. His friend is obsessed with his daughter and insists that Daniel has to meet her. Daniel does his best to get rid of him and tries to forget the incident. That same night his friend commits suicide.
Laura, Daniel’s wife, suggests they go to his friend’s funeral. There they meet his daughter, a little girl, barely seven years old, who since the death of her father has been taken into foster care. Laura convinces all parties that the best thing is for the little girl to go and stay with them.
But the little girl’s presence in the house starts to have an adverse effect on the couple when fears and memories which Daniel thought he had long since buried start to come creeping back inside his head. The same obsessions and fears that took the life of his friend start to take control of Daniel. A growing sense of isolation engulfs Daniel in the house, which, until the arrival of the little girl, he had thought belonged to him.
