What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1950: an older pace and style.

A story about two men caught in the Mexican revolution: close friends before, but now on the opposite sides. One of them is military officer, while the other one expects capital punishment. The prisoner's mother comes to visit his son, unaware that his former best friend is now his enemy.
