Family squabbling amongst three grown siblings erupts into violence when one of the sisters overhears the other planning to cash in the family wealth, escape their domineering brother and rural life and flee to Paris. One of Gómez’s finest works as director, the film melds a darkly humorous mystery with a passionate indictment of Franco’s society and was censored (banned) for 5 years.
