Program Series: Roberto Gavaldón

Dias de otoño (Autumn Days)

For their third B. Traven adaptation, Gavaldón and Tarso recruited the Spanish-born writer and frequent Luis Buñuel scenarist Julio Alejandro. A surrealist element is conspicuous in this story of a naïve young woman from the countryside (Pina Pellicer) who invents a fictional fiancé and baby. Eventually, she comes to accept the deception herself.
