In 'Demonios familiares', Ana María Matute transports us to a small town in the center of Spain during July 1936. Eva returns to the family home after a fire in the convent where she was a novice. Her father, the Colonel, confined to a wheelchair, runs the estate with the help of Yago, an enigmatic character with great secrets. In the forest, Eva discovers a wounded paratrooper and, with Yago's help, they hide him in the attic of the old house. This unfinished but highly intense work is the last legacy of a life dedicated to imagination and writing.
