If you loved Pobre amor (El verdadero corazón de Susie), try Lirios rotos
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 D.W. Griffith, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Pobre amor (El verdadero corazón de Susie), the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Lirios rotos is
D.W. Griffith's melodramas can be a bit much, it's true. Here, a young girl is terrorized by her abusive pugilist father, then finds a tender, platonic friendship with a visiting missionary from China's Tong district. It's a bit of a bummer, even for a silent film.
