Errementari: The Blacksmith and the Devil

 This film essentially begins in the nineteenth century with a reluctant soldier by the name of "Patxi" (Kandido Uranga) deciding to desert after 2 years of war in order to return to his wife in northern Spain. Unfortunately, he is caught and swiftly put before a firing squad. In frantic desperation he makes a deal with the devil to sell his soul in exchange for the opportunity to see his wife again. So just when the bullets strike his body a demon by the name of "Sartael" (Eneko Sargardoy) appears and together they proceed to kill those in the firing squad and subsequently head back to France. However, when he comes back home he finds that his wife has not only taken another lover but has given a young daughter to this man as well. In a fit of rage he kills his rival and upon almost killing the baby turns to see that his wife has committed suicide. Feeling tricked by Sartael he then binds the demon in chains and puts him in a cage where he cannot escape-and therefore cannot take his soul. After this he gives the young baby to some people in a nearby village and proceeds to live a life in solitude. Several years later a young girl named "Usue" (Uma Bracagilia) sneaks into his house and seeing a young boy in a cage decides to release him. Needless to say, she is horrified to see what he suddenly morphs into and the evil that she has just released. (IMDB Uriah43)
