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)
