Did you know
• Pedro Olea wanted to do this project for a long time, but he knew that the Spanish dictatorship wouldn't allow a project like this. It was after the huge success of Tormento (1974) that this was greenlighted.
• Spanish censorship didn't allow to show the scene in which Luis was killed at the station.
User reviews
A good but downbeat drama by Pedro Olea with a great cast giving terrific performances.
