Image of Ciruelos, not of the place itself.

The film ¿Quién puede matar a un niño? (Who Can Kill a Child?), directed by Narciso Ibáñez Serrador and produced in 1975, though released in 1976, was largely filmed in Ciruelos. Practically all the scenes set in the island village of the plot were filmed in this town in Toledo, located about 250 kilometers from the sea and which then had 300 inhabitants. Since the story takes place in a coastal village, the sound of seagulls and the distant sea was added in postproduction to give continuity to the scenes filmed inland. The rest of the locations, all with a coastal setting, were filmed in Almuñécar, Menorca and Sitges.
