As much a paean to the transformative and magical power of cinema as an introspective and opaque representation of Spain's grey post-war years, The Spirit of the Beehive (El Espíritu De La Colmena) is a key example of the metaphorical style of cinema utilised by Spanish filmmakers during the years of the dictatorship. Víctor Erice's directorial debut is heavy in symbolism and appropriately signals from the outset that it can also be taken as a kind of fable - the opening titles start, "Once upon a time..." and locate the film in a vague time and space "somewhere in central Spain, in around 1940".
