Spain's 1962 gay musical that TMDB forgot to tell anyone about.
A young man from the gentry rejects all the values his family upholds while they rejects his own; so that, despite his efforts to please and the fact that he works in the family business, he ends up finding out that his uptight and competent brother calls him useless and effeminate.
Acting
Alfredo Alaria's trembling restraint under patriarchal glare.
Writing
Dialogue so repressed it practically vibrates.
Director
Luis María Delgado
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made under Franco's Spain, this slipped through as 'family drama' while being one of earliest Spanish films with explicit gay themes.
Director Luis María Delgado later disowned most of his early work; this nearly vanished until a 2010 restoration.
