''Cria Cuervos'' is a 1976 film from Spain directed by Creator/CarlosSaura.
Ana is an eight-year-old girl. In the opening scene, her father dies of a heart attack in the middle of sex--although Ana doesn't know that's the reason why. This leaves Ana and her sisters Irene and Mayte orphaned, as their mother, Maria (Creator/GeraldineChaplin, daughter of [[Creator/CharlieChaplin Charlie]], mother of [[Creator/OonaChaplin Oona]]) died not that long ago, of cancer.
Her mother's sister Paulina arrives to take charge of the children. What neither Paulina nor anyone else knows is that Ana thinks she murdered her father. Ana spooned baking soda into her father's milk, believing it to be poison; when her father promptly died Ana assumed she was responsible. Ana, who takes a quick dislike to Paulina, decides to kill again.

!!Tropes:
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Adult Ana looks straight at the camera while delivering her exposition dump.
* TheDiseaseThatShallNotBeNamed: No one ever says the C word even as Maria is writhing and moaning on the bed from what is clearly cancer. Oddly, her husband refuses to believe she's even sick, even after a doctor has been by to visit and has given Maria painkillers.
* IdenticalGrandson: Adult Ana is played by Geraldine Chaplin, the same actress who plays Ana's mother Maria. Possibly justified if one assumes that the appearances of adult Ana are figments of young Ana's imagination.
* InfoDump: Adult Ana gives a long talk filling in some details about her parents' relationship.
* MediumAwareness: The Spanish pop song that features prominently on the soundtrack is playing quite loudly. Ana looks straight into the camera and says "Could you turn that music down?" Afterwards the music does in fact quiet down quite a bit.
* TheNothingAfterDeath: DiscussedTrope. Maria, writing with pain from cancer on the bed, tells Ana that they've been lied to, and "there is nothing" after death.
* OutWithABang: Ana's father Anselmo dies of a heart attack while having sex with another woman. Ana gets the mistaken idea that she just poisoned him with baking soda.
