La corte de Faraón

In the early Spanish Civil Post-war, in Madrid, during the hardest times of the Franco dictatorship, a group of second-rate players tries to get out of their wretched lives taking advantage of the artistic caprices of the son of a rich man who supports the regime. They try to stage a Pre-war 'zarzuela' (a sort of Spanish operetta), 'La Corte Del Faraón', which ironically, thirty years later, is too obscene for the regime censorship. (Paco Delgado)
