Synopsis by Rovi
Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles is an animated feature that depicts how the 1933 documentary film, Las Hurdes: Tierra Sin Pan, came to be. After making Un Chien Andalou and L'Age d'Or, two daring films, filmmaker Luis Buñuel (voiced by Jorge Usón) has a hard time raising funds for his next project. His friend and painter, Ramón Acin (Fernando Ramos), buys a lottery ticket and tells him that if he wins, he will fund a documentary on the impoverished community of Las Hurdes in Extremadura. With a surreal stroke of luck, Acin wins, and the rest is history. Directed by Salvador Simó.
