Pierna creciente, falda menguante

The film tells the story of Senator Duke of Daroca, who falls in love with a cabaret singer named Rosario "La Criollita". This relationship causes a scandal during World War I, when Spain remained neutral and societal attitudes toward women were quite conservative. The narrative juxtaposes the senator's ancient lineage with the provocative nature of the cabaret scene, contributing to its comedic and musical elements.

Featuring a notable cast that includes Laura Valenzuela, Fernando Fernán Gómez, and Emma Cohen, the film reflects the cultural shifts leading into the 1920s. As it moves from the repressed attitudes of the early 20th century to the more liberated atmosphere of the roaring twenties, it showcases the evolution of erotic expression in Spanish cinema.
