Marcelino

The Spanish movie Marcelino pan y vino (1955), directed by the Hungarian director Ladislao Vajda, was the first movie I ever watched - as far as my memory goes. I was probably as old as the main character Marcelino (in the picture) and I remember that I left the movie theatre in tears, hand in hand with my mother who had brought me there.
