Cría cuervos is a 1976 Spanish film directed by Carlos Saura. The film is an allegoric drama about an eight year old girl dealing with loss. Highly acclaimed, it received the Cannes film festival Special Jury Prize Award.

Music

The film prominently features the pop song "Porque te vas" by Jeanette, an English-born singer, singing in Spanish, whose accented voice reminds Ana of her mother, as played by Geraldine Chaplin, who speaks Spanish with her English-accented voice. Despite an infectious rhythm the song has sad and poignant lyrics. The song expresses the fact that Ana has no understanding of death, only of absence.
