The 7th Day (Spanish: El 7º día) is a 2004 Spanish-French rural drama and tragedy film directed by Carlos Saura and written by Ray Loriga.

Based on the Puerto Hurraco massacre,[3] the plot follows a bitter rivalry between two families that started with an ill-fated love affair, and grows over three decades.

In an isolated village in Extremadura, the Jiménez and Fuentes families have a violent history of land disputes, jealousy, envy, and violence.

Feeling betrayed, Luciana expresses a vengeful wish on her seducer in the presence of her fragmented, devoted brother Jerónimo who, in turn, executes his sister's wish, resulting in the young man's cold and brutal murder in an open field.

Humiliated, forcibly driven out of town, and struggling with Luciana's delusional obsession over her broken engagement, the Fuentes's harbored animosity festers with each passing year, awaiting Jerónimo's release and pondering the inevitable day of reckoning against the community that had turned its back against them.

With his help, Isabel is determined to discover the seed of hatred that has tragically marked the story of the two families for more than thirty years.

"On the seventh day of creating the world, God rested", Isabel notes, and that is why the most horrible things happen on Sunday.
