From Pink...to Yellow (Del rosa al amarillo)
This dual tale of love was Manuel Summers' directorial debut and a key film of the early years of the Nuevo Cine Español.

When a boy becomes enamoured with an older girl, he embarks on a thorny path that leads to heartache, and long pants. An elderly couple separated by the strict rules of their aged care institution manage a tryst via letters, and get close at church.

Summers smuggles more meaning into his film than its gentle themes of youth, age and hope implied under the cinematic constraints of Franco's Spain.
