The Consulate General of Mexico in El Paso, the Centro Cultural Mexicano Paso del Norte and the University of Texas at El Paso invite the border community to the Film Festival “Época de Oro”, a time when Mexican cinema acquired its own identity and had a great artistic and commercial impact on the world.

Una familia de tantas is a drama film written and directed by Alejandro Galindo and starring Fernando Soler, David Silva, Martha Roth, Eugenia Galindo and Felipe de Alba.

Synopsis

A middle-class family of the Federal District consisting of five children is shaken from their bases by the appearance of an appliance seller that calls into question family harmony. One of the children marries by duty while his sister Estela escapes the house. Maru, the youngest, joins the seller without parental consent.

The narrative vitality, the naturalness of the dialogues and the good acting performance are part of an acute melodrama that confronts two middle class modalities: the repressive of the father and the progressive and innovative agility of the seller to enter that family and end up marrying Maru (Martha Roth).
