Florencia Bécquer

A 1944 Spanish film.

Two fishermen and pelotaris, Josechu and Mikel, compete for Mirentxu's love.

A story about poverty, honour and forgiving.

Fortunato is a loser, a family man, who has lost his job and tries his luck in all the trades he finds. However, it seems that his name —that means “fortunate” in English— is not in line with his situation, since, no matter how hard he tries, fortune does not want to smile at him.

Malvaloca is a rather foolish and beautiful girl living with her careless parents. After being abandoned by a man she has a daughter. Later she meets Salvador; when he has an accident she meets his friend Leonardo and they both fall in love. She will try to redeem herself from her past life. At the same time the two men, who have a forge, recast the convent's old bell which also needs to be "redeemed". Silent version of the Álvarez Quintero brothers theatrical play.

Spanish silent comedy based on Armando Palacio Valdés' novel. It was the first film starring Imperio Argentina.
