Painless
Spanish Cinema Now 2012
December 7 - 16, 2012
A taut, provocative thriller that spirals between the Thirties and the present as it recounts the terrible story of a Civil-War era clinic and its experiments with children naturally immune to pain.
Around the time of the Civil War, a clinic is established in a remote part of Catalunya to study a remarkable group of children who mysteriously cannot feel pain. Cut to the present, where a young neurosurgeon suffering from cancer searches for his biological parents. Juan Carlos Medina’s ingenious thriller carefully weaves these two stories together, creating an unsettling meditation on the way that pain and physical suffering can be seen to provide the basis for all that is human.
