She is protected by a young Indian man, Lorenzo Rafael, who has fallen in love with her.
Directed by Emilio Fernández. Starring Dolores del Río, Pedro Armendáriz, Alberto Galán, Margarita Cortés and Miguel Inclán.
Lyradrift plots Maria Candelaria as a star at the centre of its own sky, with related films orbiting it as satellites, gathered from TMDB recommendations, shared themes, Wikidata links (same director, writer, series, source material or subject) and closeness of feel, then chosen for the strongest evidence — the closer and brighter a star, the more strongly it is related. Fly to any satellite to make it the new centre and keep exploring.
