| Quotes |
Eugenio Montes:
"Until the last villages, the suggestions of the city arrive, inviting the farmers to desert the land, with promises of easy riches. Receiving temptations from the city, without preparation to resist and lead them, these peasants, who have lost the field and have not won the very difficult civilization, are trees without roots, slivers of the suburb, which life destroys and corrupts. This constitutes the most painful problem of our time." Quote at the beginning of the movie See more » |
