Even the Wind Is Afraid

A group of college students, led by Claudia, decide to investigate a local tower that has figured prominently in disturbing reoccurring dreams Claudia has been having. They are suspended from school for their antics, but Claudia learns from one of the female staff members that the person in the dream is a student who killed herself years before and that the headmistress has seen her ghost.

Directed by Carlos Enrique Taboada, Even the Wind Is Afraid leans on a strong ensemble — Alicia Bonet, Maricruz Olivier, Marga López — 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 mystery titles of 1968.
