The Realm of Fortune
1986, Spanish. Directed by Arturo Ripstein.
If you have nothing, something will touch you. If you have something, you will get much more. If you want more, you can lose everything. This is the law, in "The Empire of Fortune".
Poor Dionisio finds himself as recipient of the good fortune, but soon he forgets that everything that goes up also has to go down, and that in the depressing nothingness of his town it is easy to die.
