El cantar de los cantares is one of the most fascinating and unknown artistic experiences of the post-war Spanish exile. The prestigious poet and editor Manuel Altolaguirre adapted Fray Luis de León's texts to film, trying to formulate an encounter between Castilian mysticism and Mexican exuberance.
