Un lugar en el mundo

This film by Adolfo Aristarain was labeled a classic from the day it was released. It is a milestone in the career of a director who had already characterised himself by knowing how to bend genres - especially with films with crime at their heart - to the demands of his style as a wonderful storyteller. In this case, the praise of idealism and the ability of human beings to empathize and try to change the world managed to move all the viewers who watched it at the time. In the group of the four wonderful main older actors, the geologist played by José Sacristán displays the enormous capacity of the Spanish actor to identify with characters driven by commitment.
