El Camino is a Spanish drama film directed by Ana Mariscal and released in 1964. Set in rural post-war Spain, with a screenplay by Mariscal and José Zamit, it is a film adaptation of the eponymous novel by Miguel Delibes published in 1950.[1]
Synopsis
[edit]The film is set in rural post-war Spain in Cantabria, specifically the village of Molledo (in the Iguña Valley). Daniel, nicknamed "the Owl," must leave his native village to go study in the city. His father, the village cheese maker, insists on a good education for his son so that he does not end up like him. In the days preceding his departure, Daniel and his friends create mischief in the village and observe the adult world around them. In an atmosphere stifled by the Christian morality imposed by the church and reinforced by the women of the village, Daniel prepares himself to leave.[2]
