What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1952: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Alberto Robles, a young doctor, is faced with the decision to surrender to a life full of comforts and luxuries or to continue dedicating himself body and soul to serving those who need it most.
