Plot

Dozens of characters are caught in the hunger, fear and petty meanness of Madrid in 1942. After Camilo José Cela.

Sinekatalog’s take

Mario Camus fills Madrid in 1942 with dozens of characters shaped by hunger, fear and petty meanness, after Camilo José Cela's novel. Crowded and bitter, it is a sweeping portrait of postwar Spain, with a remarkable ensemble.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
