All the Moons (2021) Hey what's up guys.
Today I'll show you a drama-fantasy film: "All the Moons"! Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care!
The movie begins during the end of the third Carlist War in 1876. Bombs drop from the sky,
showering innocent people not only with explosions, but with terror too.
Among the innocent people enveloped in fear are the orphans inside an
old orphanage, anticipating the next bomb. The moment the explosion erupts from outside,
the nuns call the orphans from their beds, so they can hide in the basement. Upon arriving in
the basement, the nuns encourage the orphans to pray to God. They assure them that they simply
need to believe in God so they can be safe. Meanwhile, a beautiful young girl strays from
the group, and stares at the angel painting on the wall.
Suddenly, another bomb explodes above. The ceiling collapses over them, leaving most
of the orphans and nuns dead. However, the girl miraculously survives the fallen debris,
although she's still severely wounded. In the darkness, a lady under a blanket
approaches the young girl. The girl assumes she's an angel, so she pleads not to die.
So The Lady fulfills the girl's wish and brings her to a secluded hut in the woods.
The girl wakes up in front of The Lady, who asks her if she wants to be healed.
The girl answers she wants to live with all her heart, and so The Lady grants her healing.
The Lady makes the girl drink blood from a bowl as part of the healing process. The girl sleeps
shortly after her intake of blood. Later, the girl wakes up to see
all her wounds healed. Then, she examines the misty and dimly hut.
She's about to leave the hut when The Lady forbids her. She explains they can't go outside during the
daytime because it's dangerous, especially since soldiers are active at that time.
Subsequently, the woman's friends exit from their room and meet the girl. The
alpha goes out too, and scolds The Lady for recruiting a girl into the group.
From this point, it's still unclear what kind of creature they are, but it's certain that
they're dangerous in the eyes of humans. The woman defends the girl from the alpha's
assessment, and believes the girl is smart enough to learn their habits and lifestyle. The alpha
eventually gives up and leaves them alone. That night, The Lady tells the girl that
they're following the light from afar. The light originates from the bonfire of a camp,
and that light disappears in the morning but returns at night.
The girl then surveys her surroundings, where she sees others preparing to go out. The Lady
senses the girl still fears the others, so she assures her that there's nothing to be afraid of.
The others are already outside, and The Lady is supposed to follow next. But before she leaves,
she tells the girl that they're destined to be together, now that they have each other.
The girl knows The Lady is about to leave, and she asks if she can go too.
but The Lady says she needs to stay behind. To ease the girl's fear of loneliness,
The Lady reminds her that there's a moon in the sky to light up her dark nights. The moon is also
a reminder that as long as The Lady is alive, the girl can see all the moons every day.
Despite the order for her to stay, the girl stubbornly follows behind the group. They
eventually arrive at the campsite, and she watches them behind the tree. She sees them
sucking blood off the bleeding corpses. These "others" who drink blood,
live for eternity, hide from sunlight, and go hunting at night for food are vampires.
The coven of vampires returns home after their food hunting.
Meanwhile, The Lady and the girl lie beside each other. The girl asks how she healed her wounds,
and The Lady answers that it's through a kiss. When a human on the verge of dying asks for a
vampire to save them, the vampire will kiss them to grant healing,
and then lastly is to make them drink blood to finish the conversion. However, this conversion
can only be done once by a vampire. The lady reminds the girl that converting
someone needs to be thought of thoroughly, and the girl takes note of this reminder by heart.
Afterward, she embraces the girl tightly because she finally claims her as her daughter.
Suddenly, The Lady feels something's wrong, and so she stands up to search for the troubling noise.
The two climb upstairs, and they see fire smoke fill their place.
Just then, they learn that the soldiers have found their hideout.
The alpha accuses the girl of luring the soldiers near their hideout, but pointing fingers
is useless now. The only thing left to do for them is to escape, so they hide under their
blanket and wait for the signal to go out. Outside, soldiers equipped with guns surround
their house. The alpha leads the vampires outside, but they are quickly dispatched by the soldiers.
Somehow, The Lady and the girl manage to run far away from the fight.
While escaping, the two women split up because of a tree in the way. The girl stumbles and
rolls off the cliff, leaving The Lady alone and vulnerable to the soldiers chasing after them.
The Lady bellows a cry at the sight of the girl's blanket hanging on a branch.
That night, the girl survives the fall because of the snow cushion below.
She returns to their hideout, but there's nothing left there. Still, she sleeps in
the cold and charred hut until morning. Sunshine seeps through the broken roof,
beaming at the girl. However, the sunlight is unbearable for their kind, so she immediately
withdraws herself from the light. she hides under her blanket and runs into a cave. a ferret
attacks her because it's their den. However, the girl allows hunger to consume her completely,
so she kills it and drinks its blood. At first, she screams at the unfamiliar taste,
but her body eventually accepts and savors its metallic taste.
Ten years later, the girl occupies the cave as her own den. The cave is filled
with the cycle of the moon's drawings. She warms herself through a small fire.
then at night, she hunts birds for her bloody meal. After sucking their blood,
she gazes at the moon for a moment. The following day, the girl feels The
Lady is lying beside her, but when she looks behind her, there's no one there.
Soon after, the girl starts her day. She breaks off her doll's head,
and throws it under the sunlight. She tries to grab it, but the sunlight burns her skin to the
extent that it leaves a wound. She withdraws her hand and runs back, crying on her bed.
she stares at her wound, and something sparks in her mind. She effortlessly peels
off the dead skin, revealing new skin as if nothing happened to her hand.
For days, she lets the sunlight burn her skin despite the pains. Then, she peels them off
after they dry down, and then she uses blood to mark the days of her practice on the cave wall.
It's like her skin sheds off new skin for her, removing almost every dirt on her face.
Until one morning and the sun rises again in the sky. The sunlight touches the young girl's skin,
but she doesn't show any pain or reaction. The girl is astonished too, as her skin has adapted
after countless sun exposure. So she goes out of the cave, and lets the warm sun kiss
her skin even though she's a vampire. At sundown, the girl leaves her cave for
the first time, and travels to a house across the hill. She reaches the house at nighttime,
and enters through a vegetable garden. However, a bear trap catches her ankle, but she doesn't seem
to feel pain. She tries to remove her limb off, but it only attracts the owner more, since it's
connected to a chain to create an alarm. The owner named Candido, exits his house
with an ax, assuming a wolf is caught in the traps. but it's only a girl. Candido releases
her and brings her to his home to clean her wound. but it's not even bleeding or broken.
Candido then offers her milk, but she keeps quiet and simply shakes her head.
Candido then puts the girl in the attic, and lets her use the room as her temporary place.
The following day, Candido delivers his cheese products to every villager's house for bartering.
while at their doors, he asks if someone has lost a girl in their family.
However, no one knows about her. Candido and the girl get home at night.
Candido prepares a garlic soup and eats it, but the girl doesn't want to do anything with garlic.
Suddenly, she caresses him softly and wants to give him a smelly kiss,
which makes Candido angry. He shouts at the smelly girl, who quickly runs to her room.
The girl hides in the attic, but then she sneaks out through the window to search for food.
She spares Candido's sheep, and goes to their neighbor's house,
taking the neighbor's chickens for blood. The following day, Candido gathers milk from
the goats, but they're all spoiled because the animals are sick.
Just then, Father Sebastian gives Candido a surprise visit to see the girl. He believes
it's a miracle for a beautiful and healthy young girl from the woods to come into Candido's house,
after Candido recently lost his daughter. Father Sebastian suggests to Candido to bring
the girl into a hospice or good home, so she can be a servant, but the girl
disapproves and hides on her hay bed. Upon hearing Father Sebastian's offer,
Candido suddenly wants to keep the girl for himself. He reasons he doesn't want to send
the girl out yet, because it's his fault that she's injured from the bear trap.
However, Father Sebastian senses that Candido's letting his grief dominate his reasons, so he
advises him not to let pain confuse his reality. Father Sebastian is about to leave, but he leaves
Candido a warning to put up more traps again, because their neighbor's chicken coop was
wiped out by the wolves last night. After the encounter with the priest,
Candido begins treating the young girl as if his daughter, and names her "Amaia."
The name Amaia is originally from his deceased daughter,
but regardless of where it came from, the girl, who's now the new Amaia, is happy to receive it.
The following day, Candido and Amaia attend the mass in the chapel,
where they receive the attendees' gaze with awe. During the Holy Communion,
Father Sebastian feeds Amaia some holy bread. After the mass, the attendees swarm at Candido
to ask about Amaia, while Amaia sneaks out to spit out the bread, because her body can't intake such
holy food. However, a boy named Migel, catches her spitting out the bread. He chases after her in the
open field, and sees her on top of a tree. Migel reaches the top, and says that it's
a mortal sin to disrespect the holy bread because it symbolizes the Body of Christ.
Suddenly, the branch snaps, causing him to fall, including a beehive. The swarm of bees
starts attacking him. but when Amaia reaches the ground, the bees simply hover around her.
Migel and Amaia then walk into a forest, and Migel wonders why the bees didn't sting her,
even though she's more smelly than him. Amaia answers it's because they're scared of her.
Afterward, Migel brings Amaia near a waterfall, and explains that Candido's daughter fell from
the waterfall and drowned in the river. It took them two days to find her body. After his
daughter's death, he never left his house, until a beautiful young girl came into his life again.
It's true that because of Amaia, Candido feels hopeful again. They take trips outside,
and once they get home, Amaia leaves wildflowers on the table for her adoptive father.
Meanwhile, their neighbor's geese are found dead this time,
but they didn't know that it was Amaia's doing.
The following day, Amaia and Migel bond and play together too. Amaia asks if Migel feels scared
like the bees, and Migel says he's not afraid of her, then proceeds to kiss her cheek.
That night, Amaia sleeps under her bed, when suddenly The vampire Lady appears again.
The Lady tells her that she doesn't belong in humankind, because she's different from them.
The Lady also reminds her again that without her, she'll be all alone forever.
After a week or so, Amaia and Candido attend the mass for the week. During the Holy Communion,
Amaia swallows the holy bread. However, the moment the holy bread reaches her stomach,
a pain jolts in her body. She screams and falls on the aisle, choking from the bread. The
attendees around her wonder what's going on, until Candido runs to Amaia's side to help her stand.
Amaia coughs out blood to spit out the bread. When Candido asks what she needs,
Amaia shouts that she needs blood. Candido brings Amaia home. He kills
one of his goats, so he can give her a bowl of blood. Shortly after, Amaia feels better
again after drinking the blood. Amaia goes downstairs and hears Candido's prayer to God.
Candido believes her new Amaia is a blessing from God, and so he wishes to take care of
her regardless of what she is. Amaia asks Candido not to leave her alone, now that he
knows what kind she is. but Candido loves her and still wants to keep her wholeheartedly.
The following day, Candido does his morning routine to barter his cheese products,
but no one wants to talk with them after the incident in the church. Sadly, even Migel
avoids Amaia because he's afraid of her now. The avoidance of the villagers from Candido
pushes Amaia to kill herself in the same river, where Candido's daughter died.
She wants to feel pain or fear from drowning, but there's only eternal life flowing in her
that no matter how she wants to die, she can't. That night, Amaia has no choice but to ask Father
Sebastian to exorcise the demon living inside her. She cuts her arm to reveal the bloodless wound.
Meanwhile, Candido searches for Amaia, and he finds her in the church.
He witnesses Father Sebastian and the villagers performing an exorcism at Amaia.
Candido gets mad because they're treating her like a bad creature, when she didn't even do
anything harmful to them. So Candido carries Amaia and walks away from them. Suddenly,
Father Sebastian uses Candido's dead family to shun him for keeping a demon with him.
Candido had enough of Father Sebastian's emotional abuse, so he shouts at him, and says stop taking
advantage of his pain to make him follow them. Candido brings Amaia home, while Father Sebastian
orders the villagers to hunt them down. Luckily, Candido is ahead of them. He packs up their items,
so he and Amaia can move away to a place where no one knows them.
It's 1936, the start of the Spanish Civil War. Sadly, Candido dies from old age,
leaving Amaia alone in the living world. Amaia tries to save him and offers him eternal life;
but Candido doesn't want to live that long. Amaia respects his decision, and buries him
near their house. She lies on top of his grave and sleeps there. Suddenly, warplanes fly past
above her. Amaia takes an interest in the war, and so she goes into the city to investigate it.
The city is wrecked from bombs and ashes. Amaia coincidently comes across Migel, who's old
enough to participate in the battlefield. Migel is badly wounded and needs help. When he sees Amaia,
he immediately recognizes her, and begs her to save him. but Amaia remembers how he avoided her
the moment he found out she was different. And so, Amaia leaves him behind to rot.
Suddenly, a figure with a hooded blanket catches Amaia's attention.
Amaia assumes it's one of her kind, so she follows the figure outside the city and into the forest.
A couple of days pass. Amaia reaches a lake, and across the lake is a cave on the side of a hill.
Amaia travels during the day, and climbs the steep road on the way to the cave.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the cave, an unexpected reunion occurs. The vampire Lady
is alive, and so is Amaia. She embraces Amaia tightly with joy, but Amaia is far from happy.
Amaia is rather mad at her for stealing one thing that makes her a living being: death!
Amaia runs under the sun for The Lady to see that she's trapped in the eternal body. No matter how
many methods she uses to end her life, she's still alive. Even the only weakness of vampires,
like the sun, is useless to her. So Amaia wishes only for one thing, and that's to
convert her back into a human being. The movie ends with The Lady proving
her love for Amaia. Even if it's painful for The Lady to see Amaia go away, she accepts her wish.
The Lady walks under the sunlight, and kisses Amaia to retrieve eternal life from her body.
Afterward, she removes her blanket, and allows the sunlight to burn her to death,
implying that as Amaia's maker, the lady has to die in order for Amaia to regain mortality.
Meanwhile, Amaia collapses and falls off the cliff and into the lake.
While Amaia's submerged underwater, the cycle of life returns to Amaia's body, because there's
blood finally coming out of Amaia's wound. When Amaia shortly regains consciousness, she exclaims
that she can finally feel again the coldness of the water, the throbbing pain, and the dread of
death. In the end, she doesn't care if she dies, as long as she can call herself "Human" again!
