El castillo de la pureza

Gabriel Lima is so determined to protect his loved ones from the evils of the world that he keeps them locked up at home. There wife Beatriz and the couple’s children help run the family business – making rat poison. As they near adulthood, the kids begin to challenge their father’s version of life beyond the “castle” walls, and Gabriel’s behavior becomes increasingly unstable. Inspired by a true story, this Mexican cinema classic brims with the obsession and absurdity of Luis Buñuel’s best films. DOGTOOTH with an eerily similar premise, was prominent on the international festival circuit in 2009.
