The House of the Spirits is a German-Danish-Portuguese film drama from 1993, directed by Bille August, who wrote the screenplay based on the novel of the same name by Isabel Allende. At the center of this film set in Chile between the 1920s and 1970s is Esteban Trueba, a man from the humblest of backgrounds who comes to wealth and power through hard work as a gold digger and farmer, fights the workers' movement as a large landowner and also develops hardship and relentlessness in his family until he is purified by the loss of his loved ones and shaken by the political upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s.
