Surcos
Directed by José Antonio Nieves Conde
Produced by Atenea Films
A neorealist portrait of rural displacement and urban moral corruption, following a family's struggle to survive in a city where survival itself demands compromise.
A farm family moves into a city maybe at the end of the Spanish Civil War. They move in with the sister of the farmers wife. In the city everything is illegal or immoral or both.
