Synopsis:

Fresh-faced Enrique (an unpracticed Iban Garate) is doing military service as a paper-pusher in the office of military judge Don Eladio (Karra Elejalde, from Iciar Bollain's "Even the Rain"), who's given to ordering summary executions of suspected commies following the farcical trials over which he presides. Enrique is engaged to simpering Carmen (Blanca Suarez), later revealed to have a more interesting other side. His ailing mother, Maria (Angela Molina), is in a psychiatric home. His friend Leopoldo (Jose Manuel Poga), a rebel doctor, continually chides Enrique for working for Eladio. But when Enrique witnesses the execution of Maria's caregiver, Don Jose (Fernando Soto), for printing anti-regime pamphlets, he finally jumps off the moral fence.

An Andalucia divided between Franco's Fascist soldiers and communist rebels in the 1950s is the setting for vet helmer Imanol Uribe's "Orange Honey," a well-appointed but unexciting historical thriller built around a young protag switching from one side to the other. Although this reps a partial return to form for Uribe following 2007's "The Nautical Chart," "Honey" lacks real intensity, and a couple of classy perfs fail to elevate the workmanlike proceedings. Spanish auds' resistance to anything about their Civil War has hampered local B.O., and the film's old-fashioned virtues are equally unlikely to sweeten the offshore palate.
