The Song of the Dead Children

Spanish with English subtitles
My mother was murdered and my father remained alone with five children to care for. He could not offer us consolation; instead, he isolated us. He took us to the beach to pass the summer in an old cabin and that was where everything changed. My brothers and I became united by depression and alcohol. All I wanted to do was to leave that place.
