Land Without Bread
- Alternative title
- Hurdes, Las
- Synopsis
- A bleak study of the Hurandos, inhabitants of a poor region near Salamanca, in north-east Spain. Living hopelessly in a barren wasteland, ridden with disease, superstition and ignorance, they let their children die unattended; freaks and morons are numerous too. The villagers are so degraded that they have virtually no folklore, but have a gold-bedecked church. Music by Johannes Brahams.*
