Watch Comedia del taller Garland (1927) Online Free
Narrating the struggles of a young man from Lima to establish a family and gain wealth, Garland manages to articulate, on several levels, the city/countryside dichotomy, a dominant theme in Peruvian and Latin American cinema during those final years of the silent era. The film follows Sisebuto Calatrava, who pretends to be married in order to receive his aunt and uncle's inheritance. The problems begin when they decide to travel to Lima to visit the couple.
