Very very very powerful movie! Excellent, 10/10!!
Reminds me of B. Travens “La rebelión de los colgados” from 1954.
Jon, any chance this and LA ROSA BLANCE from 1961 could be uploaded? Both are on YT, but without sub’s and I neither speak nor understand Spanish. Both are fantastic movies, from what I read.
