Plot
Set in Andalusia in the 19th century, it reflects the persecution of some people with blood crimes that they have committed due to forced circumstances. Juan Cuenca, a miner, who has killed the foreman of the mine and his friend, an engineer who, for defending him, has killed the head of the mine. All of them live as refugees in the Andalusian mountains, persecuted by the Civil Guard, and intend to embark for America.
The film reflects the tradition of freeing a prisoner during Holy Week in Malaga because of the image of Jesús el Rico.
