Pedro Beltrán

In a small town a wealthy insular family deals with strange occurrences. Meanwhile, the rest of the town enjoys and criticizes the musicians who come to play for the town every Saturday.

The Moment of Truth, from director Francesco Rosi is a visceral plunge into the life of a famous torero--played by real-life bullfighting legend Miguel Mateo, known as Miguelin. Charting his rise and fall with a single-minded focus on the bloody business at hand, the film is at once gritty and operatic, placing the viewer right in the thick of the ring's action, as close to death as possible.

The news of the death of Franco has a special resonance in the family formed by Florentina, her daughter Encarna, her son Hilario and the children of the marriage, Juanita and Manolín. At the same time, Florentina informs the rest of the family of a much more important announcement than the dictator's death: her husband Emiliano, who had been given up for dead in the Spanish civil war, is alive. During Franco's regime he has remained hidden in the family home itself. (imdb)
