El castillo

Inheriting an imposing castle in the countryside out of the blue sounds like something from a fairy tale, but it becomes a sudden reality for former housekeeper Justina. The sweet old lady of indigenous descent has inherited a property from one of her former employers. The only condition: she must never sell the legacy, no matter what, and she must take care of it herself. But this documentary by Argentinian director Martín Benchimol shows how an illusory happiness can quickly crumble – just like the castle in which Justina, her daughter and her pets now live. The poor family lacks the necessary means to pay for the urgent restoration, but can Justina and her daughter still save the castle?
