Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Prim's death literally changed Spain: no king meant the brief First Republic and decades of instability. This isn't just murder, it's alternate-history fuel.
The 'Calle del Turco' was demolished in 1910; the film's location work required rebuilding a ghost street from archival photographs and Galdós's own descriptions.
