If you loved El Cid, try La promesa
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Theysit in Drama / History / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to El Cid, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What La promesa is
A medical student, an artist, and a journalist circle war-torn Constantinople like vultures with soft hearts. Their doomed romance plays out against a collapsing empire, where politics and passion collide like trains running late. A noble attempt to dress a history lecture in Armani.
