A deeply researched documentary investigating Luis Buñuel’s landmark 1950 film Los Olvidados, exploring its social realism, historical context, and ongoing legacy through interviews with filmmakers, critics, and historians, narrated in the voice of Arturo Ripstein as Buñuel. The film revisits original shooting locations in Mexico City, links Goya’s visual influence to Buñuel’s cinematic style, and reflects on the marginalization portrayed in Los Olvidados and contemporary society.
