Un divorcio

Divorced woman has to deal with blowback from the fact that her second marriage is only a civil union and not a church wedding. Meanwhile, her young-adult son is falling in love with a divorcee of his own, and faing severe opposition from his father over his choice of partners..

Directed by Emilio Gómez Muriel, Un divorcio leans on a strong ensemble — Marga López, Carlos López Moctezuma, Raúl Farell — 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 screen titles of 1953.
