El detective y la muerte

The film noir atmosphere is overwhelming in this film, which descends into the depths of the night in a dystopian time that leaves no room for hope. The characters attempt to escape a fate that becomes clear, with little need for symbolism, in the inevitable death awaiting them all. With a diverse and gifted cast, this film is a rara avis within the cinema of its time and, even today, remains open to countless interpretations that go far beyond its apocalyptic tone.

Synopsis: In a European city shaken by racial unrest, a powerful magnate must confront the one force he cannot deceive or corrupt: death. Meanwhile, a detective attempts to find the woman he loves, while at the same time an innocent young woman follows him with the absurd intention of bringing her child back to life after he was murdered in his cradle by a gunman.
