    • A vision of the history of Spanish cinema through the life and professional career of Florián Rey, a director who began a prestigious career in the silent world and had great commercial successes during the II Spanish Republic. His contribution was essential in the creation of the fledgling film industry. He was a character with lights and shadows, since his ideological ties led him to a progressive fall from grace until his retirement in complete oblivion. In the 21st century, discovering his mastery in the use of narrative rhythm and his refined technique leads us to recover the immense legacy he left behind.
