The Devil’s Backbone is about a ghost in an orphanage but hidden beneath this theme is Guillermo Del Toro’s feelings on the Spanish civil war. The film starts with a boy (Jaime) holding another dying boy (Santi). The film then shows a young boy called Carlos who arrives at the orphanage with two Republican loyalists. Carmen and Dr Caesarea take Carlos in and put him with the rest of the boys.
