If you loved Imitación de la vida, try Lo que el cielo nos da
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
Both films are directed by Douglas Sirk, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Imitación de la vida, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Lo que el cielo nos da is
A 1950s melodrama about love that dares not check its privilege between a wealthy widow and her arborist beau. Her children and golf buddies at the club insist she knows her place. It soars like a weepie kite with a flawless cast.
