A rich man loses his memory after an accident.

Sinekatalog’s take

Carlos Saura's allegory follows a wealthy industrialist who loses his memory after a car crash while his greedy family tries to extract his bank details. Sharp and dark, it is a bitter satire of Franco's Spain and family greed.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
