The crime of Cuenca

Directed by Pilar Miró, whose courage did not fail to cause clashes with the authorities, this 1979 film, based on a true story that occurred in the 1910s, was a true scandal in the Spain of the time, which was experiencing its first years of democracy. The terrible story of an unsolved crime and the search for its culprits put the director -a myth in the history of Spanish film culture- in front of the courts, which considered that «it could be criminal against the Judicial Corps and the Guard Civil».
