This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In Spanish with English subtitles.

Widescreen. Directed by Carlos Saura. While traveling from Barcelona to recover his mother's remains, Luis (Juan Luis Lopez Vazquez) suffers an incredibly vivid flashback to 1936 Segovia as it was on the eve of the Spanish Civil War. In this Spanish film, everything but Luis repeatedly reverts to its 1936 condition. Again and again, things remind him of his stay there, and each time the film returns him to the '30s.

Very, VERY happy with the purchase.
