Laura spent the happiest years of her childhood growing up in an orphanage by the seaside, cared for by the staff and fellow orphans whom she loved as brothers and sisters. Now, thirty years later, she returns with her husband Carlos and Simon, their 7-year-old son, with a dream of restoring and reopening the long- abandoned orphanage as a home for disabled children. The new home and mysterious surroundings awaken Simon's imagination and the boy starts to spin a web of fantastic tales and not-so-innocent games. Laura slowly becomes convinced that something long-hidden and terrible is lurking in the old house.

"Haunting and heartbreaking, The Orphanage delivers a double whammy of chills both real and supernatural." - Jamie Russell BBC Movies
