José Luis Egea

The first film of the 'Ikuska' series, on the situation of schools in Basque language.

Los desafíos presents three separate stories that are linked by an American presence in Spain in the 1960s, with Dean Selmier playing the role of the American male in all three.

Filmed in 1963, but not released in Spain until 1967, the film depicts the failed romance between a bourgeois French tourist girl and a Spanish working class boy.
