Malambo 1942
Based on a quechua legend, Malambo tells the story of a woman who lost her husband and son because of the greedy patrĂ³n of an hacienda. She swore that she would never remove the cloth over her eyes until her dead were avenged by the deaths of the patrĂ³n and his daughter. Nature seems to be on her side, since a drought has afflicted the land. Her other son, Malambo, accepts the duty of revenge. Malambo is no normal human: he is the runa-uturungo, or Hombre Tigre, of Quechua lore, and he cannot be wounded by bullets. He leads the obreros to rise in revolt and defeats the patrĂ³n. However, instead of killing the patrĂ³n's daughter--the blind Urpila --he falls in love with her, thereby breaking his mother's heart.
