Based on a popular Spanish play, Ay, Carmela! follows a struggling Republican stage troupe that accidentally strays across enemy lines. Carlos Saura’s often trenchant comedy of manners subtly examines both sides of the conflict to explore the price of loyalty and the bitter ironies of war. The radiant Carmen Maura stars in this vivid portrayal of a country torn asunder.
