In the beautifully com posed documentary “The Sky Turns,” filmmaker Mercedes Alvarez returns after 35 years to Aldealsenor, the remote Spanish village where she was born. In fact, she was the last person born there. Times have changed. The picture-postcard town is now home to just 14 elderly folks and assorted sheep, goats, dogs and cats.
The remaining residents remember better times and point out landmarks and treasures left from the days of the dinosaurs.
The stillness of life is disturbed by the arrival of construction equipment to turn an ancient castle into a luxury hotel. There’s a new life ahead for Aldealsenor — new, but not necessarily better.
