About Dios los cría...
Film consisting of five stories: "Dios los cría...", dealing with brothers' rivalry for an inheritance; "Negocio redondo", about a lawyer selling a property to the Catholic church with guilty feelings; "Entre 12 y 1", where a couple and a close friend get trapped in an elevator; "La gran noche", a night in the life of an old prostitute; and "La otra", where a man alternates between two women.
Directed by Jacobo Morales, Dios los cría... leans on a strong ensemble — Norma Candal, Carlos Augusto Cestero, Pedro Juan Figueroa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1979.
