EntreLobos (Among Wolves) recounts the extraordinary and inspiring life story of Marcos Rodríguez Pantoja, a boy who endured unimaginable hardships during his childhood and adolescence in the rugged mountains of Spain. The film begins with a young Marcos (played by Manuel Camacho) who, at just 7 years old, is handed over to his father’s employer, a wealthy landowner, after a tragic incident involving the loss of some goats. This event sets off a chain of difficult circumstances, as Marcos is then sent to live with a solitary goatherd named Atanasio (portrayed by Sancho Gracia), who resides in an isolated valley with little interest in bonding or companionship.
