Segundo López, aventurero urbano (1953)

In a 1950s post-war Madrid, an honest man from the provinces arrives in the bustling city, carrying nothing but a small sum of money. His journey takes a turn when he befriends a street urchin known as "The Chirri." Together, they navigate the labyrinthine urban landscape, embarking on countless adventures. Directed by Ana Mariscal, a pioneering woman in the spanish film industry, the tale narrates the unvarnished life of the working class with authentic echoes of Italian neorealism as well as capturing the city's essence.
