This animated film relates the making of Las Hurdes (Land Without Bread), Luis Buñuel’s 1933 documentary about a poor area in Spain, and a scathing satire of the era’s naïve ethnographic documentaries. Using animation to bridge the gap between Buñuel’s surrealism and the power of his social critiques, Simó’s film “is designed to occupy the unsteady landscape between the borderlessness of Buñuel’s imagination and the inflexible facts of life in Las Hurdes” (IndieWire).
