Un lugar en el mundo

Un lugar en el mundo (desconocido)

This film by Adolfo Aristarain earned the classic label from the day it was released. It is a milestone in the career of a director reputed an expert in knowing how to bend genres —especially crime films— 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 saw it at the time. In the group of the four wonderful main older actors, the geologist played by José Sacristán puts at the service of the incident the enormous capacity of the Spanish actor to identify with characters whose line of reading is always commitment.

Synopsis: Ernesto makes a trip to the Argentine province of San Luis, to a remote town in a San Luis valley, to remember his childhood and the circumstances that have determined his life: his parents had voluntarily exiled from Buenos Aires to live in a peasant community. The arrival of a Spanish geologist, hired by the local cacique to search for oil, represents a threat to the peasants' way of life.
