What it’s about. Three women from three different generations and walks of life find themselves in a very hot, semi-deserted Spanish town. Patricia is a 17 year old roaming Spain in search for a certain man; Sol is 27, a door-to-door salesgirl in dire economic straits who has just been thrown out of her apartment; and Virginia is a middle aged housewife, who after 20 years decides to start a new life. These three spend a very unique 24 hour period together, often acting, as the title suggests, as modern day "witches".
Who’s in it. Brujas stars Penélope Cruz as Patricia, Ana Álvarez as Sol, Beatriz Carvajal as Virginia and Álex Angulo as Conserje.
How it landed. With an audience score of 5.3/10, Brujas has proved divisive with audiences.
