Giants
Synopsis
A subversive retelling of Cervantes' Don Quixote - GIANTS is set against the backdrop of about living in an austerity-ravaged north-eastern town, a community stripped of its purpose and prospects the way ships were broken on it's very doorstep; its about false visions for the future for young men often groomed by radical ideology; and it's about the giants we imagine for ourselves.

Santo is a respected religious clockmaker and moneylender in his village. He exploits families in debt by using charm and kindness. When they cannot repay him, he persuades them to send their underage daughters to work as maids to pay off the debt. Ultimately, he sexually enslaves them and throws them out on the street when they become pregnant. His latest victim is Cira, an 11-year-old blackberry picker whose mother has pawned their home and land. After Santo's death, Maria Luisa, one of his victims, with the help of Fernando, his childhood friend and lawyer, fights for justice. After a long court battle, justice has finally been served, but not for everyone. Based on a real story.
