El Sur ("The South") is a 1983 drama film directed
by the Spanish filmmaker Victor Erice. It is based on Adelaida García Morales'
short novel of the same name.
Originally, the film would have run three hours, but
producer Querejeta decided not to allow the filming of the latter 90 minutes
(which would have taken place in the south of Spain), because he thought the
95-minute film Erice did was sufficient for his purposes.
The film was entered
into the 1983 Cannes Film Festival.
This film tells the story of a little girl living somewhere
in the north of Spain and fascinated by the secrets of the south seemingly
buried in the traits of her father. In her childhood, Estrella's father is a
mysterious world. Growing up, she finds out that he once had a sweetheart, and
that he's still in love with her.
