Santoalla

In the late 1990s, Margo and Martin Verfondern left Amsterdam to live a simpler, self-sufficient farming life, and discovered the decaying hamlet of Santa Eulalia--“Santoalla”--in Spain’s Galicia region. Their initially cordial relationship with the Rodriguez clan, their new (and only) neighbors, grew increasingly hostile, and after a successful 2010 court dispute over land rights...Martin abruptly vanished. The Verfonderns’ unusual and sad odyssey is laid out in this singular true-crime examination. 83 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
