After serving his apprenticeship as a screenwriter and assistant director, Gavaldón took on his first fuIly realized project as a director with this adaptation of an 1895 novel by the popular Spanish writer Vicente Blasco Ibánez (BIood and Sand). Though set in Spain, this story of an immigrant family's struggles to establish their own smaII farm was cIose enough to the concerns of Mexico's tradition of rural meIodramas to become an immediate popular and critical success.
