Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film belongs to the 'pecado' tradition of Mexican cinema where priests operate in moral gray zones, reflecting real tensions between church and state in rural 20th-century Mexico.
Rubén Aguirre, playing one of the secular allies, was simultaneously starring as Professor Jirafales in the legendary sitcom 'El Chavo del Ocho' — making this his double life as Mexico's most recognizable TV intellectual and a cinematic revolutionary.
