Elsa’s journey —as a photographer travelling the length and breadth of the country for a project on Franco’s concentration camps— brings to light a map of the defeated, and with it the story of Carmen and Ángel, two lovers separated by the war. The news of a relative’s death forces Elsa to put her work on hold, reconnect with her family and come to terms with an outstanding inheritance.

With 'Todo es cárcel'(2026), Enciso continues to further explore his main hallmarks as a filmmaker: careful work with natural actors inspired by literary texts and the poetic intertwining of reality, fiction, and history that links him to filmmakers like Straub-Huillet, Pedro Costa, and Eugène Green.
