church of the remote hamlet of Santoalla, near the town of
Petin, in Ourense, Spain, 29 December 2022 (issued 31 December
2022). Spanish movie 'The Beasts' (As Bestas), directed by
Rodrigo Sorogoyen, is inspired on Margo Pool, 69, and her late
husband Martin Verfondern, who was murdered by a local in 2010,
13 years after the Dutch couple arrived in Santoalla looking for
a change of life. The murder happened due to a dispute for
communal lands with the only other family residing in the
hamlet. Margo, who is now the only resident of the small
village, devotes her time to take care of her goats, dogs, cats
and a horse. EPA/Brais Lorenzo
