Summary of Santos inocentes, Los
Spain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: Spanish ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Subtitles ), Spanish ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Film Credits, Filmographies, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Meant to reflect the harsh realities of segments of society in 1960s, Franco-era Spain, this slow-moving, drawn-out story is about a struggling, impoverished family who work on the estate of a wealthy aristocrat. Paco (Alfredo Landa) is the head of his small family who constantly tries to placate his irascible overlords and also teaches them how to hunt birds. His wife R?gula (Terele P?vez) is as subservient as Paco. The family is rounded out by a mute, crippled daughter, a son away at military service, and Azarias (Francisco Rabal), an uncle whose mental stability is in question. These individuals are contrasted with Se?or Iv?n (Juan Diego) who rules over them with a detached incomprehension that brands the family as not much different than the animals he hunts. The se?or has no compunction about shooting Azarias's pet bird, or forcing Paco to continue with a bird hunt even though he has fallen and broken his leg. Given the insane behavior of the aristocratic Iv?n, the half-crazy Azarias might be the only one to get through to him on his own level. The 1984 Cannes Film Festival awarded Alfredo Landa and Francisco Rabal a shared "Best Actor" Award for their roles in this film.SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Cannes Film Festival, Cinema Writers Circle Awards, Spain, ...The Holy Innocents ( Los Santos inocentes )
