The narrative explores themes of faith, temptation, and the absurdity of human nature, all delivered with Buñuel’s signature surreal and satirical style. The film stars Claudio Brook as Simón and Silvia Pinal as the temptress. Notably, the film won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.
